The Miramon Matinées are back next Saturday 10 October
After the loss of six matinées of the previous season due to the pandemic, the series of concerts is back with renewed strength, with some of the proposals lost in spring; many of the orchestra's ensembles are preparing to offer their recitals, the Kup taldea and Suhar korua will be joining us, and the complete orchestra will offer a general rehearsal under the orders of its chief conductor, Robert Treviño.
The season will kick off next Saturday 10 October at 11:00 in Miramon with Belharra, comprised by musicians from the orchestra, who will perform two string quartets by Schubert and Beethoven.
