CALEFAX REED QUINTET
SUMMARY BIOGRAPHY
Having played over 600 concerts in 20 countries, Dutch reed quintet,
Calefax, is well known for its virtuoso performances, innovative programming
and engaging concerts. The quintet performs standing up, and always
introduces itself and the programme to the audience. Most importantly, the
five musicians arrange, recompose and interpret music from eight centuries
to suit their unique line-up: from early music, renaissance, baroque, and
romantic works to jazz, or world premières.
So forget what you know about a traditional "wind" quintet, Calefax are a "reed" quintet and totally unique!
Calefax is recognized internationally for the quality of its ensemble
playing, and has appeared widely throughout Europe, both in new music forums
and in early music festivals.
