Inverurie Music is delighted that the Tim Kliphuis Trio will offer their expert tuition during a day of masterclasses for guitar and string players held at King’s Pavilion, King’s College, Campus, University of Aberdeen, Old Aberdeen on Sunday 5th March 2023.

Come and join us for this rare opportunity to work with these wonderful musicians.

The Tim Kliphuis Trio are one of the world’s top string groups, combining jaw-dropping virtuosity and mesmerizing improvisations with a beautifully varied repertoire sourced from classical, gypsy jazz and North-European folk music. Award-winning violinist Tim Kliphuis (Netherlands) and Scotsmen Nigel Clark (guitar) and Roy Percy (double bass) celebrate their 17th year of touring together.
