Clarinet and string quartet; one of the most magical chamber music ensembles one can find. Clarinettist Gerbrich Meijer is a finalist of Dutch Classical Talent and is studying for her soloist diploma at the Royal Conservatory in Copenhagen. Together with the ADAM Quartet, which is accompanied by Marc Danel at the Dutch String Quartet Academy (NSKA), she will perform Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s famous clarinet quintet. They will also perform works by the British-African Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and the African-American Florence Price. These modern-classical composers wrote beautiful music at the end of the 19th and early 20th century, but then unjustly fell into oblivion.
