Universal Language, the underlying force for the Basque National Orchestra's 2013–2014 Season

Universal Language, the underlying force for the Basque National Orchestra's 2013–2014 Season
The Basque National Orchestra's 2013-2014 Concert Season will open on 7 October in Vitoria and come to a close on 4 June 2014 in Pamplona. In this new season, the 32nd in the Orchestra's history, 13 different programs will be featured.

"Music is the true universal language". This quote by composer Carl Maria von Weber has now become a statement of principles, an affirmation of the everlasting value of music as a vehicle for cultural and educational exchange. Von Weber's words will be the underlying force for the Basque National Orchestra's 2013-2014 season.

Melodies and words from around the world and different time periods will be brought to the stage by leading artists. Relevant names in music will be enhanced with great names in literature and theatre. Melodies and varied words will now become an echo of universality.

The countless hours of music offered by the Orchestra through its Season Concerts (backbone of the BNO programme), Miramón Matinées, Music Room (educational and social activities), KlasikAT, CDs, plus its participation in cultural events such as ABAO (Bilbao Friends of the Opera), the San Sebastián Classical Music Festival, Zinemaldia, Musika-Música, Le Temps d'Aimer la Danse, and more are all an example of the Orchestra's excellence and its policy to promote diversity. Diversity in a programme designed for a diverse audience. Because the Basque National Orchestra belongs to the society that nurtures it, a diverse society as evidenced by the thousands of people who have attended a BNO concert or have followed the Orchestra over the course of this season via its website or social networks.
