Information
Noelia ibáñez, mezzosoprano - Amaia Zipitria, piano
The mezzo-soprano Noelia Ibáñez and the pianist Amaia Zipitria offer an intimate vocal recital focused on the two pillars of the festival: Aita Donostia and Maurice Ravel. The program is a fascinating lyrical journey that includes Ravel's Cinq mélodies populaires grecques (Five Greek Songs) and a broad selection from Aita Donostia's songbook, highlighting works like Aldapeko and La cigala. The evening is completed with the exquisite melancholy of Poulenc and the works of the Navarrese composer Pascual Aldave. An essential encounter with the Basque and French song repertoire.

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!
