Calefax and the reed quintet celebrate their 40th anniversary with a big reed (quintet) party: Calefax Reed Festival!
Menu de Saison combines the quality of the familiar Calefax programs with a link to current events. Just as a chef in a modern restaurant likes to spoil his guests with home-grown products, Menu de Saison offers Calefax the opportunity to surprise with newly developed repertoire.
A musical expedition through the natural history museum of Strandbeests.
