- Currently in its 18th year of touring, the multi-award-winning Tim Kliphuis Trio is one of the world’s top string groups, combining jaw-dropping virtuosity and mesmerizing improvisations with a beautifully varied repertoire sourced from classical, gypsy jazz and North-European folk music. With Scotsmen Nigel Clark (guitar) and Roy Percy (double bass), Kliphuis has travelled the world, performed for royalty and the United Nations, and collaborated with The Netherlands Chamber Orchestra, Tallinn Chamber Orchestra and Cape Town Philharmonic at festivals such as Glasgow’s Celtic Connections, the Prince’s Canal Concert in Amsterdam and Starlight Classics on national TV in South Africa.PROGRAMMEJust over 100 years ago, George Gershwin composed Rhapsody in Blue for the Paul Whiteman Orchestra, combining elements of classical, jazz and blues. This iconic piece opened up a new era for America’s musical history, and remains one of the most recognizable compositions today. Tim Kliphuis and his Trio celebrate 20 years of touring together by presenting a brand-new, virtuosic Rhapsody that swings, grooves and dazzles. With their trademark high-octane sound, the three play the role of orchestra and soloist, bringing back the free-flowing improvisational energy that Gershwin’s timeless melodies deserve. Paired with the Rhapsody is the Trio’s popular arrangement Hoedown for the Common Man, as performed with orchestras across the world, that celebrates the music of yet another legendary American composer: Aaron Copland. To top this exciting programme off, the Trio play some Gershwin gems: It Ain’t Necessarily So, I Got Rhythm and They Can’t Take That Away from Me in a solo guitar version.
