For over three decades, Jelte Althuis has been a defining force within Calefax - as bass clarinetist, arranger, educator and craftsman. His final arrangement for the ensemble, Bach’s Aria Variata, alla Maniera Italiana, BWV 989, is both a fitting farewell and a musical reflection on his extraordinary 32-year journey with the group.
Calefax is delighted to announce their new bass clarinettist: Salome Etter. Salome is an energetic and versatile musician that fits the ensemble effortlessly. We are going to enjoy her musical passion and commitment, both on and off stage.
