Courses
In the world of traditional music, not only its disclosure by means of concerts and speeches, but also its pedagogical teaching are the fundamental pillars we are based on. We must work with it to ease the transmission to the new generations of this heritage we received. Korrontzi work day after day to maintain this tradition as a treasure for the youngest ones. With this aim, we take part actively in the teaching of activities such like trikitixa or traditional dances.
If you are interested in learning how to play trikitixa or learn some dances from our choreographies, please contact us! We have a wide variety of possibilities for you.
Live concerts
Korrontzi take with them a small part of our land wherever their presence may be required.

Music and dance merge during those live concerts we offer throughout the world monde since our debut.
