Tim Kliphuis Trio

Wooler Arts Summer Concerts 2023

Sunday 28th May 2023, 3.00pm

Tim Kliphuis violin

Nigel Clark guitar

Roy Percy double-bass

The Dutch virtuoso violinist Tim Kliphuis brings an infectious and uplifting concert with fellow members of his trio, Nigel Clark, guitar, and Roy Percy, double-bass, to perform a delicious cocktail of jazz, gypsy, folk and classical music. It will be a perfect afternoon of foot-tapping music, so come along and expect some familiar tunes to welcome the arrival of summer.

An invitation to the Richard Strauss Festival in Germany marked the start of the Tim Kliphuis Trio whose mission is a ‘total music’ without stylistic barriers. They performed for the Dutch King at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, curated the world fiddle night at Celtic Connections Glasgow, celebrated Stéphane Grappelli at the Django Reinhardt Festival in Samois-sur-Seine and have shared the stage with Les Paul, Richard Galliano, Frankie Gavin, Martin Hayes and Daniel Hope. The Trio have collaborated with the Netherlands and Tallinn Chamber Orchestras, The Hague and Cape Town Philharmonic and Sinfonietta Amsterdam and toured America, South Africa and Russia.
