Basque National Orchestra

The Basque National Orchestra (Euskadiko Orkestra) is a vibrant symphonic ensemble based in Spain’s Basque Country, founded in 1982 to celebrate and elevate the region’s rich musical heritage. Based at the Miramon Palace in San Sebastián, this orchestra blends classical staples with contemporary works, often spotlighting Basque composers like Gabriel Erkoreka (whose dramatic *Cello Concerto "Ekaitza"* appears in their discography) and weaving in film scores like Javier Navarrete’s haunting *The Orphanage*. Their recordings, such as *Ravel: Orchestral Works, Vol. 2* and *Americascapes 2: American Opus*, showcase their versatility and commitment to both global classics and new voices. Beyond the stage, they’re deeply invested in education and community outreach, making classical music accessible to all ages. Whether breathing life into fiery Basque pieces or lush film soundtracks, this orchestra radiates passion for storytelling through sound.
