Ensemble Kuraia was founded in Bilbao in 1997 by the composer María Eugenia Luc, its current artistic director.
Kuraia has performed all over Spain and abroad (Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, Mexico, Peru, El Salvador…), winning acclaim from both the general public and the specialized critics as "one of the ensembles of contemporary music of reference in Spain" (Scherzo).
Quality, variety and innovation are the features that make Kuraia Ensemble's proposals stand out. These include the realization of documentaries, CD and DVD recordings (Orpheus and Sintonía Label). His CD "De aire y luz" dedicated to music by Luc received in 2016 the Gold award by Melómano review.
Ensemble Kuraia count with sponsorships by Culture Ministry-INAEM of Spanish government, Basque government, Diputación Foral de Bizkaia, Bilbao Council, Fundación SGAE, AIE, Musikabulegoa and Etxepare Basque Institut.
