Enrique Azurza, director

The KEA Choir, led by Enrique Azurza, offers a spectacular choral journey across Europe. The program honors the festival's core connection with works by Aita Donostia and Ravel's Trois chansons (Trois beaux oiseaux du paradis). These pieces engage in a dialogue with contemporary Basque repertoire (Sarasola, Bello-Portu, Sorozábal, Azurza) and the mystical atmosphere of Nordic composers like Gjeilo and Alfvén, and Scottish composers like McMillan. An evening of contrasts and vocal excellence.

Come to the Concert the Easiest, Most Comfortable Way, and Respect the Environment!

On Foot or by Bike (Our Favorite Option!)

The Church is located in a very central area of Donostia. If you live or are staying nearby, the best option to reduce our impact is to come by taking a walk or by bike.

• Bike (DBizi): You have well-located public DBizi bike stations in the centre:
  • dBizi 6 (Arrasate St., 19): This is the station closest to the shopping centre (about a 5-minute walk).
  • Dbizi-2 (Boulevard Zumardia): Perfect if you are coming from the Old Town (Parte Vieja), the Victoria Eugenia Theatre, or the María Cristina Hotel.

By Bus (DBus)

This is the best option if you are coming from far away. You have multiple urban bus stops just a few steps from the Church:

• Closest Stop (3 minutes away): Easo 27. This stop serves many main lines, such as 17, 21, 24, 26, 31, 36, and the night line B4.
• Nearby Stop: Urbieta 6. Daylight lines: 16, 18, 19, 26, 31. Night lines (Búhos/Owls): B2, B7.

By Train or Intercity Bus

If you are coming from outside Donostia, you will arrive directly in the heart of the city:

• Bus Station: The Central Bus Station (Lurraldebus) is about an 8-minute walk away.
• Train (Renfe / Euskotren):
  • The North Station (Renfe) is about 10 minutes away.
  • The Amara Station (Euskotren) is 5 minutes away.

If You Come by Car

If you have no alternative, we encourage you to come with a full car. Sharing reduces the impact of your trip!
