The new Miramon Matinées Season Kicks off

The Miramon Matinées are, in essence, the space where the Basque National Orchestra researches, experiments with and designs programmes for addressing repertoires other than symphony music. In the continuous search for alternative proposals, great importance is also placed on working in collaboration with other artistic bodies in order to extend the cycle to other disciplines, such as choir music, with the KUP Taldea, or productions combining dance and live music, with the Dantzaz Konpainia. The 2015/2016 Miramon Matinées season consists of 16 concerts taking place at 11:00 on Saturday mornings at the Basque Orchestra Headquarters in Miramón.

Season tickets now on sale. The 16-concert season ticket costs 83.50 euros. Tickets can be purchased by calling the Basque Orchestra offices (943 01 32 32) or by completing the form in the Subscribers section of www.euskadikoorkestra.eus. Tickets for individual Matinées will go on sale on September 10 at a single price of 7 euros and can be purchased on www.kutxabank.es, at the Kursaal Auditorium ticket office and, in the event of remaining tickets, at the ticket desk of the Orchestra Headquarters in Miramón on the day of the concert.

On September 26, extraordinary choir music to open the season: an approach to J.S. Bach's sacred cantatas, four of which will be performed by the KUP Taldea and the Kaabestri chamber ensemble. The KUP Taldea vocal group, created in 2003 under the direction of Gabriel Baltès, tackles this demanding repertoire together with the solo voices of the soprano Miren Urbieta, the mezzo-soprano Marta Infante, the tenor Xabier Anduaga and the bass Mikel Zabala. Kaabestri, an ensemble of musicians from the Basque Orchestra, will provide the instrumental part of this project opening a new season of the Miramón Matinées.

The Miramón Matinées are sponsored by Kutxa Fundazioa.
