Presentation of the 2018/2019 season

The work of Robert Treviño in his first year as chief conductor and his strong commitment to six new Concert season programmes.

“Variations” as the general idea of a Season, clearly captured in the new image: “variations for listening to with the eyes”.

The work of Robert Treviño in his first year as chief conductor: Is one of the keys of the current moment in the Basque Orchestra. The work carried out this season is receiving full acknowledgement and praise from the Orchestra itself, the audience, critics and the musical environment. Proof of his commitment to the Basque formation is the enormous presence he will maintain throughout the coming season.

The image of the new season: “variations for listening to with the eyes”. Once again, the image is innovative, modern and fresh, an original visual symphony, a metaphorical composition intended to awaken the attention of spectators, to seduce them and invite them to listen with their eyes. The eleven graphic compositions illustrating the corresponding programmes of the new season are therefore constructed based on two elements represented with different techniques or resources: ancient illustration or engraving and photography. Yesterday and today, music written in a past time and music performed in a present time. From the combination of both elements a new object is born, a visual harmony which illustrates every title, a visual meaning in turn open to interpretation by the spectators themselves.
