The ‘Orfeón Donostiarra’ is one of the best choirs in Europe in the amateur field, which at present is composed of more than 170 voices. Since it was set up in 1897, and thanks to its vocation for excellence, it has taken with its music the name of Donostia (San Sebastian), together with those of Gipuzkoa and the Basque Country, all over the world. This performance will take place at San Telmo Museum, this museum was inaugurated in 1902 and is the oldest in the Basque Country. The original San Telmo building, a Dominican convent built in the 16th century, is the result of a long process of successive modifications that have partially altered its physical and functional aspect. This is a unique specimen of Gipuzkoa architecture as it is a fusion of Gothic and Renaissance styles, creating a style that has been called "Elizabethan" architecture.

The Queen Maria Cristina of Habsburgo ordered the construction of this Palace in the place popularly known as ‘Pico del Loro’, between the beaches of ‘Ondarreta’ and ‘La Concha’. It has an eclectic style, following models of British architecture: an exposed brick façade, octagonal tower, Tudor arches, etc. The building has three floors, basement, its own park, and several buildings. The Palace was the Spanish Royal Family’s summer residence until the decade of the 30s of the XX Century.
