Basque National Orchestra

Ravel's 'Bolero' was one of the main highlights of the Basque National Orchestra's performance during the Salzburg City Season, and expectations were high, but it was impossible to imagine such an overwhelming response from the audience, which virtually filled the hall for both concerts held in the city so far.

Today brings the orchestra's successful Austrian tour to a close with a third and final concert in Salzburg, which has also sold out.

Less than a year since its successful premiere in Poland, the Basque National Orchestra is once again embarking on a major international tour that will take it to Austria from 6 to 9 February. 

This new international tour will consist of one concert in Linz and three in Salzburg, with the conductor Robert Trevino and the French harpist Xavier de Maistre, playing as a soloist.

The Basque National Orchestra presents and premières four productions in this new Season of its educational series: “Pantomime”, “Polikinela”, “Misterioa”, and “Elkarrekin sortu”, a technological/musical collaborative show between the audience and musicians starts this week involving 3,500 schoolchildren. This first production will also have its Family Concert this Saturday, 21 October, at 12:00, in Miramon, with tickets already on sale.

The wide range of Concerts for Schoolchildren and Family Concerts in San Sebastian and Vitoria-Gasteiz, which together are the main focus of the cycle, will be complemented by three open rehearsals and new musical workshops with Fevas Plena Inclusión Euskadi to continue bringing music closer to those with intellectual disabilities.
