Single and season tickets for the Miramon Matinées are now on sale
The Basque National Orchestra's chamber music cycle kicks off on anew 11 October with 16 new musical events. Special guests such as Miguel Ituarte and Bilboko Koral Elkartea will join the numerous groups of members of Basque National Orchestra that form the rest of the programme.
On Saturday 11 October, the 2025/2026 Season of the Miramon Matinées will begin at the venue of the Basque National Orchestra. For 34 seasons now, they have offered a quality alternative to the symphonic sound of this great orchestra, with a lighter, more approachable format. This chamber music cycle of the Basque National Orchestra will offer a short musical ritual on Saturday mornings with sixteen varied and evocative events each season. The cycle, which has enjoyed the support of the Kutxa Fundazioa, will run until 6th June.
A varied programme
Chief among the section of special guests are the renowned pianist Miguel Ituarte and the Bilbao Choral Society. Another unique event will be presented by percussionists from Bilbao Orkestra Sinfonikoa and the Basque National Orchestra. Performers from both orchestras will join forces to present a concert with a varied repertoire focusing on the use of new technologies applied to percussive chamber music.
Dozens of members of the Basque National Orchestra have formed trios, quartets and quintets of multiple instrumental combinations to offer a varied repertoire ranging from the Baroque to the present day. And they do so in an airy, relaxed, quality format, lasting approximately one hour, as an opportunity for these musicians to branch out and leave to one side their usual symphonic format. Haizea, Irauli, Soka Bones, Belharra or the Delicia Ensemble are just some of the groups that will take the stage at Miramon. Special mention should be made of the concert opening the series, given by Kaabestri, a group that is distinct in size, with up to 16 performers on stage.
