Basque National Orchestra

The Music Room’s educational and social cycle continues to strengthen its determination to make the Basque National Orchestra a route to well-being, health and quality of personal and social life, doing so through innovative, pioneering and risky proposals as a way of countering inequality and exclusion. 

This new cycle has four in-house productions: two presented last season - 'Musika tantak' and 'Logelan logale' - , and two premieres - 'Nire ama antzara' and 'Arriaga bizi da' - . These and other Basque National Orchestra productions set a standard and a course towards good practices in the sector, so much so that several of them have been programmed in other festivals and with other orchestras.

The cycle has over 70 activities in total, including the second edition of the 'Musikazaleak' workshops, in conjunction with FEVAS-Plena Inclusión Euskadi, and Open Rehearsals aimed at groups and educational centres.

The Basque National Orchestra's chamber music cycle kicks off on anew 11 October with 16 new musical events. Special guests such as Miguel Ituarte and Bilboko Koral Elkartea will join the numerous groups of members of Basque National Orchestra that form the rest of the programme.

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

The event will offer a treat for the eyes and ears lasting for 75 minutes on Saturday, 20 September, at 6 p.m. Entry is free.
