Music Room presents its most inclusive and comprehensive Season to date

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.
