Basque National Orchestra

The Basque National Orchestra’s educational and social cycle kicks off this Season 24/25 with more activities than ever before: over 70. And, most importantly, it is more inclusive than ever with many of these activities adopting its most transversal and necessary approach to date: making the orchestra an active instrument for various forms of social inclusion and a mainstay for the country using song. 

The cycle premieres four of its own productions: ‘Ilargiari kantari’, ‘Musika tantak, ‘Logelan logale’ and ‘Misterioa’, a show that starts this week with 3,300 schoolchildren. This first production will also feature a Family Concert this Saturday 19th October at 12:00, in Miramon, with tickets now on sale.

The Basque National Orchestra, the SGAE Foundation and the San Sebastian Festival present the concert of music from films given by the Basque National Orchestra as part of the Festival. On the first Saturday of the Festival, the Velodrome opens to music lovers, movie buffs and the general public for a show combining a symphony performance of soundtracks with a collage of scenes from the movies to which they belong.

The event will offer 75 minutes of audiovisual pleasure on Saturday, 21 September, and for the first time in the afternoon at 18:00. Entry is free.  

Tickets and season tickets are now on sale for the Basque National Orchestra’s chamber music cycle, which commences on 5 October with 16 new musical events.

The violinist Pinchas Zukerman, the cellist Amanda Forsyth and the percussionist Christoph Sietzen will present chamber concerts after the orchestra's Symphonic Season, and many groups of members of the Basque National Orchestra will make up the rest of the programme.
