Kluster5
With an unorthodox assembly of instruments and wayward influences from jazz and pop, Kluster5 eschew the typical expectations placed upon contemporary ensembles. In this programme, they more than prove their versatility, performing five contrasting pieces written for them by emerging composers. These works range from ethereal tone poems to geographical surveys of the Hague, the ensemble’s hometown, alongside a startling ode to the Dutch jazz pianist Misha Mengelberg, focusing on a duet the Alzheimer’s-suffering composer played with a young performer in the final days of his life.
