Basque National Orchestra

The Basque National Orchestra’s educational and social programme continues to underline the importance of bringing symphonic music to children, young people and various communities from a creative, inclusive and participatory perspective. 

This season comprises five in-house productions: some of which have already been staged and established, such as ‘Arriaga bizi da’, ‘Logelan Logale’ and ‘Mozart, Nannerl eta Lagunak’, and others which are now premiering, such as ‘Aniztasuna harmonian’ and ‘Brassstorm’. 

This cycle has over 70 activities in all, including the third 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 3 October with 16 new musical events. Special guests such as Tcha Limberger, Steven Lin and Kea Vocal Ensemble will join the numerous groups of members of Basque National Orchestra that form the rest of the programme.

The Basque National Orchestra, the Orfeón Donostiarra choir, Andoni Martínez Barañano and the conductor Juan José Ocón will make up the team of this latest edition, to take place on Saturday 19 September at 18:00.

‘Verano Azul / Blue Summer’ and ‘La clave’ de Carmelo Bernaola; ‘El cantor de México’ and ‘El amor es como un ramo de violetas’, with tenor Andoni Martínez Barañano rendering the voice of Irun’s Luis Mariano; ‘Winnipeg, the Seed of Hope’ and ‘Sacamantecas / The Harvester’ are some of the chosen works.
