Joris Roelofs & Bram van Sambeek

Bass clarinet player Joris Roelofs was educated as a jazz musician, in New York among other places, and became fascinated by both big bands and classical orchestras. Now he forms a duo with bassoon player Bram van Sambeek, an equally open-minded musician whose repertory encompasses Vivaldi as well as Metallica. Their instruments, bass clarinet and bassoon, form a perfect match, and the two have collaborated before on Roelofs’s compositions Nietzsche Serenade and Truth and Lies, which are both based on Nietzsche’s philosophy.
