Tim Kliphuis Trio

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 and innovative approach to music has united audiences and is influencing a new generation of string players.
This year – the 20th year of touring with his trio – Tim will be presenting a brand-new, virtuosic interpretation of George Gershwin’s ‘Rhapsody in Blue’ 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.
