Speciale gast: Louis Sclavis (bas)klarinet
When it comes to the bass clarinet, one simply cannot ignore Louis Sclavis, ‘one of Europe’s most creative contemporary musicians since the 1980s’ (Guardian). The Frenchman is renowned for his fabulous technique, but above all for his imaginative playing. Using improvisation, he creates an ‘imaginative folklore’ of jazz and North-African and Breton folk music. The Amsterdam ensemble Tetzepi has commissioned several contemporary composers to write new works for this evening, using musical elements created by Sclavis as points of departure.
