About this Event
The Tim Kliphuis Trio
Classically trained and widely regarded as “the successor to Stéphane Grappelli”, Dutch violinist, Tim Kliphuis, breathes new life into existing styles with a high-energy blend of classical, gypsy jazz and folk music. His improvised sound is totally new and yet is steeped in tradition. Tim’s trio’s electrifying performances have made them firm favourites on the festival scene including the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, North Sea and Edinburgh Jazz Festivals, Richard Strauss Festival and Fiddles On Fire.
Tim first made his name playing with the fiery European gypsy guitarists, then fine-tuned his personal style which has taken him to classical, jazz and folk venues around the world. Tim has shared the stage with legends Frankie Gavin, Richard Galliano, Fapy Lafertin and Les Paul and has been lauded for his musical genius by Nigel Kennedy.
