En el marco de un nuevo aniversario de este cuerpo artístico de la Casa de Bello, alojado en el Centro de Extensión Artística y Cultural de la Universidad de Chile, el quinto capítulo del proyecto "Legados para Chile" destacá el aporte que realiza al país este conjunto de músicos.
La Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional de Chile realizó su primer concierto el 7 de enero de 1941, iniciando un trabajo ininterrumpido que hasta el día de hoy ha aportado de manera significativa a la formación de cientos de músicos nacionales.

La actividad, en la que participan los estudiantes de la Escuela de Verano de la Universidad de Chile, busca complementar las actividades académicas de dicho programa con el deporte, entregando una perspectiva de formación integral de los jóvenes.
