This summer, the Philips Symphony Orchestra invites you on a vibrant musical journey. Under the baton of Basque conductor Txemi Etxebarria, the orchestra brings to life music from his native region as well as from Latin America—rhythmic, compelling, and rarely heard. Special guest Garikoitz Mendizabal, a master of the traditional Basque flute known as the txistu, travels to the Netherlands especially for this occasion to perform as soloist in several works from his homeland. After the intermission, the orchestra dives into fiery dance music from the south: tangos by Piazzolla, Caribbean nights with Gottschalk, and the festive fireworks of Márquez’s Conga del Fuego Nuevo. In short: not to be missed!
Garikoitz Mendizabal (Zestoa, Baskenland, 1973) has been playing the Txistu since a young age. After studying at the conservatory in Bilbao, he has developed into the world’s leading Txistu player and performs worldwide. In addition, he is also a member of the Basque parliament for the Basque National Party.

For the Love of Music
Community life is a crucial social and cultural driver in our society. Few things connect people as deeply as joining a club or association. Without a doubt, the association is one of the most effective tools against division in society. Both clubs and enthusiasts, as well as independent practitioners of amateur arts, can find a place at Muziekgebouw Eindhoven. With the project For the Love of Music, we are pleased to offer our venues to everyone who loves music: creators, artists, and musicians from Eindhoven and the surrounding region.
