Concert: The saxophone craze

Duo Calvadoré brings a vibrant programme that transports audiences straight into the spirit of the Roaring Twenties. With freedom, rhythm and flair, they perform a finest selection of jazz‑influenced classical works by composers such as Gershwin, Ravel and Schulhoff.

Saxophonist Arno Bornkamp not only showcases his remarkable virtuosity, but also performs on a unique collection of historical 1920s saxophones — offering an authentic sound that evokes a time of musical revolution. A sparkling tribute to the jazz spirit within classical music.

About Duo Calvadoré

Duo Calvadoré is formed by Dutch saxophonist Arno Bornkamp and Flemish pianist Jan Lust. Bornkamp is regarded as the elder statesman of the newest generation of saxophonists. The two musicians met during projects with the Bruges‑based orchestra Anima Eterna, where they discovered a shared artistic passion and decided to continue performing together as a duo.
