Nieuw Amsterdams Klarinet Kwartet is on the list of nominees for the GrachtenfestivalPrijs2015. The quartet are: Lieke van den Beuken, soprano clarinet; Bart de Kater, clarinet / basset horn; Jesse Faber, clarinet / basset horn; Hilde Kaizer, bass clarinet.
One of the ensembles’ defining characteristics is its versatile program. The composition may be a tad unusual, but the quartet has no problem finding repertoire. These young musicians create their own striking arrangements, ranging from baroque to contemporary music.
During Grachtenfestival Amsterdam you will have the unique opportunity to hear this inspired quartet play on a beautiful Tall Ship from SAIL, which will lay moored on the IJ for only five days.
