The Basque Orchestra begins its new symphony season with works by Berlioz and Ravel
The performance will take place on 29 September at the Conservatory Jesus Guridi in Vitoria-Gasteiz; on 30 September and 1 October at the Kursaal auditorium in Donostia; on 3 October at the Baluarte auditorium in Pamplona; and on 4 October at the Euskalduna Palace in Bilbao. They'll all start at 7:30.
The first program of the new season of the Basque Orchestra will give prominence to the voice, starting with the soloist of the Donostiarra soprano Mira Urbieta-Vega in 'Herminie', written by Hector Berlioz in his youth. A lyrical scene that anticipates some of the famous melodies of 'The Fantastic Symphony'.
In the second part, the orchestra will join the Landarbaso Choir of Errenteria to perform one of Maurice Ravel's "most ambitious" works, the symphony coral ballet 'Daphnis et Chloe'.
Maurice Ravel is celebrating the 150th anniversary of his birth in 2025 and, as a key author in the career of the Basque Orchestra, his music will occupy a prominent place in the new season.
Tickets for concerts in Donostia-San Sebastián, Bilbao and Pamplona are on sale at euskadikoorkestra.eus and at the lockers and websites of the auditoriums, at prices of more than 10 euros.
