description
show category: Concert
Cluj Chamber Music Festival, now in its 4th edition, proposes a new perspective on chamber music — an open space where tradition and experimentation coexist. The programme moves across styles and eras, from Renaissance polyphony to jazz and crossover projects, bringing together international artists, established musicians, and emerging performers. Set within a network of unconventional venues — from churches to inner courtyards and alternative spaces — the festival creates connections and invites audiences to rediscover chamber music beyond conventional frameworks.
The concert Dall’opera italiana al jazz proposes a musical journey across the 20th century, from the roots of jazz to its mature and widely popular forms. The GLEM Clarinet Quartet presents a dynamic programme in which classical, operatic, and jazz influences intersect within a fluid and accessible musical discourse.
From ragtime and early jazz to swing, cool jazz, and European influences, the repertoire brings together works by George Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Dave Brubeck, and Benny Goodman, alongside insertions inspired by Italian musical culture. The stylistic contrasts and rhythmic energy transform this concert into a vivid musical journey, in which the clarinet fully reveals its versatility.
About the artists
The GLEM Clarinet Quartet, founded in 2022, brings together four musicians who continuously explore new repertoire directions, from transcriptions of classical works to crossover projects. The ensemble has been invited to important festivals and concert seasons in Italy and has collaborated with prestigious artists and institutions, rapidly shaping a flexible and open artistic identity.
We invite you on Wednesday, May 13, at 8:00 PM, to the DaVinci Restaurant for a concert that offers an energetic and relaxed experience, where chamber music meets the rhythm and freedom of jazz.
Cluj Chamber Music Festival – 4th edition – does not propose a formula. It proposes a state of mind.
A festival that does not tell you how to listen to chamber music, but invites you to rediscover it.
