The World Premiere of ‘Gernika 85.’, the most personal and largest project of the contemporary composer Aitor Etxebarria.

It will be performed by the Bilbao Symphony Orchestra and the Gaudeamus de Gernika choir with the international solo percussionist Evelyn Glennie, winner of two Grammy Awards, and Etxebarria himself on piano and electronic instruments.
