Tickets for the 24/25 Season on sale from 1 September on

Tickets for all the 24/25 Season concerts will be on sale through the usual sales channels.

From 1 September tickets will be on sale for the 24/25 Season concerts by the Basque National Orchestra, which will be held in the usual four Basque capital cities starting from 27 September in Bilbao.

Tickets on sale starting at 10 euros

Tickets for all the concerts in Bilbao, Pamplona and San Sebastian can be purchased on euskadikoorkestra.eus, as well as on the websites of the venues themselves (euskalduna.eus, baluarte.comand kursaal.eus) and at the ticket booths and usual sales channels. Season tickets can still be purchased here (starting at 80 euros).

Basque National Orchestra season ticket holders, students, under-30s, over-65s, unemployed people and other groups (Artium, Kursaal Eszena…) can enjoy special prices when purchasing tickets. In addition, thanks to Última Hora Joven, people under the age of 30 can purchase tickets for all seat locations for 10 euros, 30 minutes before the start of the concert at the ticket booth of the corresponding concert venue.

Vitoria will not have ticket or season ticket sales for the time being, as the capacity of the Jesús Guridi Conservatory, where the orchestra is starting its season due to renovations at the Principal Theatre, is reduced.

24/25 Season: contrast and incantation

‘Contrast’ and ‘incantation’ are central concepts of the narrative of this new season. Contrast can be found through the combination of pieces from our habitual set-list, such as Schubert's 'The Great', Mahler's 'Seventh' and 'Ninth' and Brahms' 'Second', together with other pieces that we will be performing for the first time, from composers such as Scriabin, Szymanowski and Schoenberg.

Incantation comes courtesy of ‘Akelarre’ (Witches’ Sabbath), a cathedral piece by Pascual Aldave, who we will be commemorating on the centenary of his birth. This theme also includes Beatriz Arzamendi, with 'Sorginen soinua’ (The Sound of Witches). This will be the first time that the Arrasate born composer will be part of the orchestra’s Season Ticket Holders’ Season, as is the case with Suhar Korua, who will deliver an original concert set, also around the night. Juanjo Mena, an internationally renowned Basque conductor, returns this season and will close this Basque-inspired section.

To make this set possible, the orchestra will once again be joined by a host of outstanding artists, such as Stanislav Kochanovsky, Christoph-Mathias Mueller, Kristiina Poska and Juanjo Mena on the baton; renowned musicians such as Kari Kriikku (clarinet), Denis Kozhukhin (piano), Christoph Sietzen (percussion), Pinchas Zukerman (violin), Baiba Skride (violin) and Daniel Müller Schott (cello); and two great choirs from the region, Orfeón Pamplonés and Suhar Korua.
