James Newton Howard in Bilbao – December 2016

In just one month, an awaited concert of James Newton Howard will be held at the Euskalduna Palace in Bilbao, December 7th, Wednesday, at 8pm.

JNH Bilbao 2016 - Piano

This concert is included within the series Bilbao Puerto de Arte (Cinema Star Series), being the only concert that James Newton Howard will have in Spain and in Europe in 2016, before going on an European tour in late 2017 (as it was already announced in the following new:  follow link).

 

The concert’s biggest incentive will be James Newton Howard conducting the BOS – Bilbao Symphony Orchestra, with the additional participation of the Choir of Bilbao, although he will hand over the pulpit to composer Fernando Velázquez at the beginning with a concert piece for violin and orchestra.

And now to finish, you can see some videos of the tribute concert that was held in Hollywood in Vienna 2015 to James Newton Howard, where Gorka Oteiza had the opportunity to interview him and ask about his concerts and his chance to come to Spain someday, something that curiously will happen next month (concert review and interview here).
