About Jazz at The Merchants House Presents Tim Kliphuis Trio
A master of the violin and a wizard of sound using classical, gypsy jazz and folk, Tim Kliphuis has created a unique style that is making waves in concert halls across the globe.
This new programme includes material from the Trio's new album, "The Five Elements": an ode to the Earth, it looks ahead to a hopeful future on our planet.
Return home from this meaningful and high-spirited concert with your soul re-charged!
Award-winning Dutch violinist Tim Kliphuis has created a brand new style that embraces classical, gypsy jazz and folk. Hailed as a ‘current-day improvising Paganini’, his inclusive approach to music has united audiences and is influencing a new generation of string players.
After his master’s degree in classical violin at the Amsterdam Conservatoire, Kliphuis studied with the European Sinti gypsies. He recorded and toured with gypsy guitar legends Fapy Lafertin, The Rosenberg Trio and Angelo Debarre.
An invitation to the Richard Strauss Festival in Germany marked the start of the Tim Kliphuis Trio (Nigel Clark, guitar and Roy Percy, double bass) 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 shared the stage with Les Paul, Richard Galliano, Frankie Gavin, Martin Hayes and Daniel Hope. The Trio collaborated with the Netherlands and Tallinn Chamber Orchestras, The Hague and Cape Town Philharmonic and Sinfonietta Amsterdam and toured America, South Africa and Russia.
As a Sony Classical artist, Kliphuis recorded Vivaldi-based ‘Reflecting the Seasons’ in 2016, followed by ‘Brandenburg’, based on Bach, and his own ‘Ulysses’ Violin Concerto in 2018. Recent orchestral commissions include the suite ‘The Five Elements’ about climate change, and brand new Triple Concerto ‘Phoenix Rising’ (commissioned by NTR ZaterdagMatinee) about our future on this planet. He was awarded the Scottish Jazz Award, South African Woordfees Award and recently, the Polish Swing Raven Prize.
