Het eerste rietkwintet ter wereld, Calefax, bestaat 40 jaar. Aan de vooravond van een jubileumfestival duiden drie jonge rietkwintetten de betekenis van Calefax. “Ze hebben voor ons het pad gebaand. En nu vertakt het pad zich.”
Hoe rietkwintet Calefax een heel nieuw genre bedacht en overal navolging kreeg
Klassieke muziek: Het eerste rietkwintet ter wereld, Calefax, bestaat veertig jaar en inspireerde in die tijd vele anderen. Aan de vooravond van een jubileumfestival duiden drie jonge rietkwintetten zijn betekenis. „Ze hebben voor ons het pad gebaand. En nu vertakt het pad zich.”

Ik ben al meer dan 30 jaar groot fan van rietkwintet Calefax. Vanmiddag, na de geweldige kindervoorstelling De Muziekfabriek (reprise in november, ga met je (klein)kind!) durfde ik ze zomaar te benaderen om iets te vragen. Trots op de verlegen puber die nog altijd in mij huist.
