The Basque Country (Euskadi in the Basque language) is a model of sustainability and cultural, social, and economic transformation. Political, cultural, and urban planning actions carried out in its three capitals—Bilbao, San Sebastián, and Vitoria—have contributed to the transition from an industrial model to genuine service-oriented cities, where livability, culture, ecology, and sustainability are at the center of deep reflection.

The city of Vitoria was named Green Capital by the European Commission in 2012. San Sebastián was European Capital of Culture in 2016 and, in the same year, was also awarded Best European City by the prestigious Academy of Urbanism in Cambridge. Bilbao received the Best European City award at The Urbanism Awards 2018 and is also home to one of the European branches of the Guggenheim Museum.

Ensemble Kuraia offers a musical vision of these transformations through a program featuring composers from the three regions that make up Euskadi: Biscay, Gipuzkoa, and Álava. The performed works and meetings with the composers will offer a captivating musical landscape.
