OPEN NIGHT
Late-evening Museum visit, with live music.
The Museum has organised a late-evening visit, which will take place on August 2. The evening will feature live music by jazz singer, Irati Bilbao. The aim of the soirée is two-fold: to provide a forum where different types of artistic expressions can be enjoyed together, and to offer our visitors the opportunity to experience the museum from a new perspective.
Free admission from 21.00 to 23:15 until full capacity is reached.
Closing time: midnight
Tickets: Free of charge.

Irati Bilbao Jazz trio
Born in Durango, the jazz singer Irati Bilbao earned a degree in jazz singing from the Musikene Higher School of Music. She began her professional singing career at the age of 17 and has since been involved in different projects, including collaborations with Ekuru, Josu Bergara + Akorde Txikiak, the Reunión Big Band, the Manixa Jazz Choir, the Bilbao Lindy Band, the Jazzbana Ensemble and Sarrabete. A recipient of multiple awards, including the 2nd Durango Feminist Contest, she released her debut album Begin in 2020, which won first prize at the Deba Jazz Blai jazz band competition. Featuring original compositions and arrangements, the album captures beautifully the fusion between her deep roots in classical jazz and other contemporary influences.
Joining Irati on piano will be Mikel Nuñez, a graduate in Jazz Piano from Musikene and a teacher at Durango’s Bartolomé Ertzilla Conservatory. Aitor Bravo will be on drums. A percussion graduate from the Jesús Guridi Conservatory in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Bravo also earned a degree in jazz drums from Musikene while studying under the renowned Jo Krause. Fran Serrano will be on double bass. Serrano qualified with a degree in jazz double base and modern music, and also holds two master’s degrees in interpretation and composition, and pedagogy from the ESMUC in Barcelona.
