SUBSCRIBE TO A SEASON FULL OF GREAT EMOTIONS
SEASON 24/25: 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.
Accompany us in the discovery and enjoyment of great new works, soloists and conductors.
MIRAMON MATINÉES
This cycle is based on three fundamental pillars: to offer quality music in a tone of relaxation and with a pedagogical character, to serve as a platform for the diversification of the symphonic work of the Orchestra members and its unique setting, the auditorium of the Miramón headquarters, turned Saturday to Saturday into a kaleidoscope through which to discover the thousand faces of music.

The Basque National Orchestra opens its season welcoming Robert Treviño, its new music director
From 10th to 17th October, the Basque National Orchestra opens its season welcoming Robert Treviño, its new music director, who has carefully designed the aesthetic paths of the coming season. An ambitious series of performances gets under way with a great symphonic choral programme, in which the Orchestra will be accompanied by the Orfeón Pamplonés, one of the oldest choir groups in the country which, conducted by Igor Ijurra, has performed alongside famous orchestras such as the St. Petersburg Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic.
The concert programme, "Elixir of Hope" includes Brahms' "Song of Destiny", Bernstein's "Chichester Psalms" (with the role of boy soloist performed by Markel Murillo, a choirboy from the Eskolanía Easo) and Mahler's First Symphony: spirituality and desires, vitalized by a great orchestral sound. The programme explores the duality between the divine and the human, the religious and the earthly, the exalted and the base. Robert Treviño construes the first part of the concert as introducing in a unique score the contrast between a mystical Brahms, who questions love and destiny, and an optimistic Bernstein; the second part presents a young Mahler, imbued with multiple influences who fills his Symphony No. 1 with "songs"; a type of choral symphony, but without vocals and words.
It is no coincidence that Robert Treviño chose one of Mahler's symphonies to begin his venture as director in the Orchestra's Season Concerts. Mahler's music has accompanied him at key moments in his career, such as his debut with the Munich Philharmonic in 2016 (Symphony No. 5) or his triumphant performance with the London Symphony Orchestra in June of this year (Symphony No. 3). With Mahler, Treviño also faces an ambitious future with our Orchestra. The new music director arrives brimming with energy, enthusiasm and passion to take the Basque National Orchestra to the very top. He will be in the forefront throughout this Season, as he is to conduct six concert programmes and shall make each and every concert and project a unique event.
All concerts start at 20:00.
Tickets on sale (from €10 to €35). Tickets for these concerts, as well as for all the Season's concerts, can be purchased HERE, on the respective concert halls' websites and at their box offices, as well as through the usual sales channels.
Miramon Matinées: season 2017/2018
Saturday 30th September is the start of the Miramón Matinées 2017/2018 season at the Basque National Orchestra headquarters. The Orchestra's chamber music cycle, now in its 26th season, is a classic in the weekend musical offering which never ceases to innovate with its extensive range of sounds, myriad of scents and melodies that create an emotive story. There are 16 concerts in this cycle's season, supported from the start by the Kutxa Fundazioa.
Among the season's guest performers, the spotlight is on the San Sebastian pianist, Judith Jáuregui, who, with a solid international career as a soloist (playing with distinguished symphony orchestras or in recital), debuts in the Matinées with pieces from her latest album, "X", and part of the repertoire with which she will shortly make her debut in London; also from San Sebastian, Ainara Ortega and Iñaki Salvador, musicians with an extensive joint career (with projects such as Kantaginjazz) who, in a voice and piano recital, shall reconsider an array of musical scores from a jazz perspective; and the Basque children's choir, Leioa Kantika Korala, which shall open the cycle on the 30th with a contemporary repertoire featuring Basque and classical composers of choral music such as Rautavaara. The chamber music offering, the focal point of the cycle, draws from the work of musicians from the Basque National Orchestra alongside their symphonic endeavours. In the current season, their overture includes Stravinsky's "The Soldier's Tale", performed by a chamber group and narrated by Andoni Alemán; a concert composed for a chamber orchestra, titled "From the Galant style to Classicism", which includes an unedited score from one of Mozart's works; and concerts by small wind and string groups from which pairings of unique composers, such as those formed by Joaquín Turina and Johannes Brahms, or Philipp Glass and Dmitri Shostakovich, emerge.
The concerts will take place on Saturdays at 11:00, at the Basque National Orchestra headquarters in Miramon. In order to arrive with ease at the concerts, the Basque National Orchestra is providing a free bus service for the audience of the Matinéess. It departs at 10:25 from Gipuzkoa Plaza 4 and stops in Sancho El Sabio 18 and Avda. de Madrid 34.
Cycle Passes. Subscription for all 16 concerts costs 84 euros, and 64 euros for those who qualify for a special rate (over 65s, under 30s, holders of passes for the Orchestra's other cycles, Kursaal Eszena season ticket holders, holders of Kutxabank K26 and K26+ cards, friends of Eureka! Zientzia Museoa and Musikene). You can get your tickets by calling the Basque National Orchestra's offices (+34 943 01 32 32) or completing the form found on the Subscribers section at www.euskadikoorkestra.eus.

“Submergence”, the film by Wim Wenders, whose soundtrack was signed by Fernando Velázquez and recorded by the Orchestra, will open the 65th San Sebastián International Film Festival
Wim Wenders' latest film, "Submergence", will open the 65th San Sebastián International Film Festival on 22nd September. It will be the European premiere of this German, French and Spanish co-production after its premiere in Toronto. The cast of the film, who will be competing for the Golden Shell, is led by James McAvoy and Alicia Vikander.
On 13th March last year, the director Wim Wenders witnessed the recording of the music for his most recent feature film, a masterpiece created by the winner of a Goya, Fernando Velázquez, at the Basque National Orchestra headquarters at Miramón. In the same way as he did with the award-winning "A Monster Calls", among other titles, Velázquez has relied on the Basque National Orchestra again for the recording of this new soundtrack. Wim Wenders wanted to be present during the process of the recording and thus, share with Fernando Velázquez and the Basque National Orchestra the creation of the soundtrack for "Submergence".
"Submergence" is both a romantic film and thriller. It is a German, French and Spanish production, a presentation by Atresmedia Cine produced by LILA 9TH Productions in co-production with Neue Road Movies, Back Up Media Studios, Morena Films, Submergence A.I.E. and Umedia, with the collaboration of Atresmedia and the participation of Movistar+. It will be distributed internationally by Embankment Films and by Entertainment One Films Spain (eOne Films Spain) in Spain.
