One of the most popular concerts at the Festival in recent years was the previous appearance by this stunning, virtuosic jazz ensemble.  Now, the Tim Kliphuis Sextet return for a double bill:  Brandenburg Revamped redefines the music of Bach for a jazz age, and in The Five Elements, composed during lockdown, jazz, folk, minimalism and Bach collide in the name of the environment.  Award-winning Dutch violinist Tim Kliphuis, long regarded as Stéphane Grappelli’s heir and ‘a present-day improvising Paganini’, breathes new life into the classics, forging a new style that embraces classical, gypsy jazz and folk.  His inclusive approach to music has united audiences and is influencing a new generation of string players.

‘An effortless blending of folk, jazz, classical and minimalism. Kliphuis’s silky, light-toned solo lines sometimes cleave close to the original, and at other times provide more of a variation on it.’
