As a result of all this fieldwork, folk melodies play an important role in Kodaly's music. It was during this period when the composer started his travels visiting remote villages to compile Hungarian folk songs. His Intermezzo for String Trio, which will be heard at the start of this first Matinée of the Season, dates back to around 1905. Kodaly is considered one of the most important Hungarian composers of the 20th century. The line-up includes Laura Balboa (violin), Delphine Dupuy (viola), Gabriel Mesado (cello), Paloma Torrado (double bass), Luis Cámara (clarinet), François Proud (bassoon) and Cristian Palau (French horn).Įnsemble Oiasso will play two pieces at this Matinée: the Intermezzo for String Trio by Zoltan Kodaly and the Septet by Ludwig Van Beethoven. Next Saturday 8 October at 11:00 the ensemble of seven musicians from the Oiasso Ensemble will start the new season of the Miramon Matinées, with a concert titled ‘ Sounds on the Danube: from Budapest to Vienna’. 28 January: Basque National Orchestra Percussion SectionĮnsemble Oiasso opens the Matinées Season next Saturday.This is the complete schedule of this season's Matinées: All of these proposals make up an attractive menu where everyone can find their own particular treasure. Also worth highlighting is the presence of two choir ensembles from the territory offering a concert each: Akelarre Abesbatza and Vocalia Taldea. For example, the Basque National Orchestra's percussion section will resume the percussion performance with domestic elements, Living Room Music, which was so successfully launched in the Music Room educational activity but could not be carried out during the last season in the Matinées due to the pandemic.

However, there will also be room for proposals that differ from this format. Several different string and wind instrument ensembles will continue to offer classical repertoires and other more hidden treasures of chamber music: Sexteto Apasionado, Hemiola Quartet, Belle Époque Quartet, Haize, Arima Quartet or Cuivres en Pays Basque, a curious ensemble of almost thirty brass wind instrumentalists from orchestras in the French Basque Country and the Basque National Orchestra. The season, which since its creation has been supported by Kutxa Fundazioa, will extend until 3 June and includes a total of sixteen events.Ĭhamber ensembles in the Basque National Orchestra usually occupy a large part of the season’s schedule, and this Season will be no exception. The matinées have been running for more than three decades as part of the Basque National Orchestra's schedule, offering a quality musical alternative. The 2022-2023 Miramon Matinée Season will begin on Saturday 8 October at the headquarters of the Basque National Orchestra.
