In early summer 2005, the group returned from a two-week tour of Chile, which included performances in Santiago and at the Fourth International Flute Festival of Chile in Osorno. Lago performed in March 2005 for the Royal Family of Qatar at the Inaugural Gala of Carnegie Mellon's campus in Education City, Qatar. In August 2004, Lago was a guest performer in the Gala Concert
