Euskadiko Orkestra has programmed Aita Donostia's monumental work, Illustrations musicales pour La vie profonde de Saint François d’Assise, as part of its Symphony Season.

This represents a premier musical heritage revival. In terms of scale, scoring, and duration, it is the most ambitious work ever conceived by the San Sebastián composer and Capuchin friar. Originally composed as incidental music for Henri Ghéon's theatrical play and premiered in Paris in 1926, the score brings together Franciscan spirituality, choral brilliance, Basque folk roots, and the compositional innovations of the Parisian interwar avant-garde.

OE Oficina presents a new international initiative devoted to Aita Donostia, one of the key figures in twentieth-century Basque music and folklore, marking the centenary of his work Illustrations Musicales pour la Vie Profonde de Saint François d’Assise.

Pianist and researcher Josu Okiñena, joined by mezzo-soprano Noelia Ibáñez, will present a series of lecture-concerts in San Francisco, Chicago and New York during September, focusing on Aita Donostia’s musical, folkloric and spiritual legacy, as well as his place within the movements of musical renewal and nationalism of his time.

Tatiana Samouil (violin) and Josu Okiñena (piano) will be part of the official program for Bilbao's Aste Nagusia as part of the 27th Encarnación Classical Music Cycle, a landmark event for chamber music.

Their performance will take place on Monday, August 24, at 8:30 PM at the Iglesia de la Encarnación (Atxuri), with free admission until capacity is reached.

OE Oficina presents a new publication devoted to one of Aita Donostia’s most distinctive works: Les trois miracles de Sainte Cécile, composed in 1920 and premiered in Paris on 23 January 1921.

The NEWCO - New Chamber Orchestra returns to Donostia-San Sebastián on April 17, 2026. The venue will once again be the iconic Basilica of Santa María del Coro, a space whose acoustics and spirituality have become the natural setting for this international ensemble’s performances.

I am thrilled to share my next project with all of you! On March 20, 21, and 22, I will have the honor of performing the iconic title role in Georges Bizet's masterpiece, Carmen, at the stunning Couvent des Jacobins in Rennes.
