Theatre
The Orquesta Sinfónica Universidad de Navarra presents its traditional autumn concert assuming new challenges: the central axis will be the emblematic Symphony No. 5 by L. v. Beethoven, a work well known to the general public, but of great difficulty for the interpreters.
The program is completed with the winners of the II Soloist Competition of the Orquesta Sinfónica Universidad de Navarra, which was held on October 9 as part of the program of the Noche en Blanco of the Museo Universidad de Navarra. Three brilliant musicians of the orchestra will offer a varied proposal of instruments and styles, with works by C. Chaminade, J. Haydn and L. Grondahl. This project offers the possibility to the young talents of the orchestra to assume these important soloist roles accompanied by their peers.
UNIVERSITY OF NAVARRA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
A project coordinated by the Campus Creativo team that seeks to offer University students the possibility of training and belonging to a quality symphonic ensemble.
Inspired by the orchestras of the most prestigious universities in the United States and Central Europe, it aims to revalue the role of the arts and music in the university environment and to become a young orchestra of reference.
