Established in 1982 by the Basque Government's Department of Culture, it is one of the leading musical institutions in the region. The orchestra is deeply rooted in its community and is known for its high standards and commitment to spreading symphonic music, with a particular focus on Basque music.
The Basque National Orchestra has been led by several esteemed conductors throughout its history, including Enrique Jordá, Miguel Ángel Gómez Martínez, and, more recently, Robert Treviño, who has been the chief conductor since 2017.
