Klassiek goes Underground: Nieuw Amsterdams Klarinet Kwartet

The New Amsterdam Clarinet Quartet consists of four versatile clarinettists Sergio, Bart, Tom and Jesse. The four gentlemen were all trained at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam and it is teamwork, their love for the entire clarinet family and above all the pleasure in making music that together make them the Nieuw Amsterdams Klarinet Kwartet, or NAKK for short. The quartet has been a welcome and beloved ensemble on the Dutch music stages for eleven years. Bringing music to everyone is what the NAKK is strongest in: for example, the ensemble surprised unsuspecting passengers of Amsterdam tram 3 and long queues of motorists could enjoy a short traffic jam concert in front of the open bridge on the A1 at Muiderberg. The ensemble is always looking for musical challenges and special collaborations, that much is clear. With its idiosyncratic view of classical music and spontaneity on stage, the NAKK quickly manages to conquer the hearts of the audience!
