Basque National Orchestra

Jorge Drexler was at the Basque Orchestra's headquarters in Miramon to record a song with the Orchestra for his next music project. An enormously original project: the Uruguayan singer will accompany the launch of his new CD and its appearance on the shelves with a brand new application of his own creation for tablets and smartphones. Users will be able to interact with a song and create almost never-ending versions of it. The Orchestra will contribute by recording the song in sections.

Basque Deputy Minister of Culture Antonio Rivera, BNO General Director Iñigo Alberdi, and BNO Principal Conductor Andrés Orozco-Estrada presented the Basque Orchestra's 2012/2013 concert season. The Deputy Minister spoke optimistically about the Orchestra's success and its committed effort to reach out to new audiences. Iñigo Alberdi went through the long list of events planned for this season  and Andrés Orozco-Estrada, who will be ending his term as principal conductor in June 2013, said that the Basque National Orchestra has been a fundamental part of his career and that he will make the most of the time he has left with the BNO.
