He obtained the prestigious ''Premio Nacional de Arte'' in 1945. == Biography == Allende was born on July 29, 1885 in Santiago. His first contact with music was due to his older brother, Juan, who became a professor at the National Conservatory of Chile.

In 1908, he graduated, having specialized in harmony, composition, violin, and song, and obtained a professorship. Two years later he was the prize winner at the musical concourse of the Centenary of Chile. In 1911, he traveled to Europe, with a grant from the Chilean government, to perfect his musical knowledge.
