Grachtenfestival: Horizon Quartet
About the event
Horizon Quartet performs a clarinet quartet concert during the Grachtenfestival. With their program *Entre dos mundos*, you journey from Spanish folk music and zarzuela to tango, jazz, and Latin American rhythms. The four clarinetists from Spain, Portugal, and Ukraine present well-known melodies in their own arrangements. From zarzuela to tango: a journey between two worlds With the program Entre dos mundos, Horizon Quartet takes you on a musical journey between Spain and Latin America. The program ranges from Spanish folk music and zarzuela to tango, jazz, and Latin American rhythms. You will hear subdued pieces such as Nana and the Flower Duet from Lakmé , interspersed with rhythmic works like Amparito Roca and Entre dos aguas . Well-known melodies in original arrangements for clarinet quartet The quartet performs compositions by Chick Corea and Paco de Lucía, among others, in their own arrangements for four clarinets. In this way, familiar melodies sound surprising: intimate, colorful, and full of character. The arrangements were written specifically for the ensemble's instrumentation. Horizon Quartet: four clarinetists from three countries Horizon Quartet was founded at the Amsterdam Conservatory. The four clarinetists, José Manuel Acevedo Real, Samuel Bragança Mendes de Freitas, Vladyslav Petryk, and Oihan Espina Errasti, come from Spain, Portugal, and Ukraine. The ensemble plays repertoire from classical music, folk music, jazz, and film music, and has previously performed at the Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ and at festivals throughout the Netherlands.
