Following the sell out concert on March 9th given by guitarist Pavel Ralev, West Wight Arts Association is excited to announce the concert to be given in Freshwater Memorial Hall on April 6th at 7.00pm by the internationally famous Tim Kliphuis Trio.

The Trio are one of the world’s top string groups, combining jaw-dropping virtuosity and mesmerizing improvisations with a beautifully varied repertoire sourced from classical, gypsy jazz and North-European folk music. Award-winning violinist Tim Kliphuis (Netherlands) and Scotsmen Nigel Clark (guitar) and Roy Percy (double bass) celebrate their 17th year of touring together.

Tim's new, 5-movement suite "The Five Elements" elevates the Trio's concern for this planet to a spiritual level and is reaching the hearts and minds of new audiences, including the royals of Sweden and Holland. Written in the crisis, about the crisis, and recorded in three countries, this piece has been making waves since its live release during the pandemic.

Also expect the gypsy jazz music of Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, who inspired Tim, Nigel and Roy to become improvising musicians; and contemporary re-interpretations of Vivaldi and Bach’s masterpieces from their SONY Classical releases “Reflecting the Seasons” and “Brandenburg”.

Tickets at £16.00, students and children £2.00, are available from www.westwightarts.co.uk or Totland Parish Office on 756028.

Please note the concert starts at 7.00pm.
