San Jose Chamber Music Society Calefax Reed Quintet - from Amsterdam [Netherlands]

A sound like no other! Calefax, formed in 1985, is a pioneering wind group famed throughout Europe. These free-spirited virtuosos have invented their own ensemble, transcribe their own repertoire, and always thrill their audiences. The Chamber Music San Francisco audience loved them.

"Calefax - five extremely gifted Dutch gents who almost made the reed quintet seem the best musical format on the planet." - The Times of London.
