Calefax is the inventor of an entirely new musical format: the reed quintet (oboe, clarinet, bass clarinet, saxophone, bassoon). The group is renowned in the Netherlands and beyond for its technical virtuosity, sparkling arrangements, and dynamic stage presence.
An evening with Calefax is always a journey through styles, eras, and genres.
