Club Classique offers chamber music in a playful, surprising and intimate way. To bring a new audience up close to the music, musicians tell the stories behind the music they perform. In this program several styles will: in the Rêverie Orientale by Glazoenov you hear the Oriental influences, the string quartet by Ravel reminds us of Paris at the fin de siècle and the clarinet quartet of Bernard Herrmann evokes the soundtracks of Alfred Hitchcock. Moreover, the musicians of Club Classique will perform several highlights from the chamber music repertoire, such as Notturno from the second string quartet by Borodin. The compelling opening with cello is unforgettable. The clarinet quintet by Weber offers every aspect of the clarinet: Fantasia shows how lyric and singing the instrument can sound, while Rondo excells in virtuosity. This programma has a high variety of intimate as well as exuberant chamber music!
