Tim will be giving a master class:
Tim ranks among the world's finest violinists. A crossover artist, he has often been named the successor of Stéphane Grappelli, taking his Gypsy Jazz and mixing it with Folk and Classical music.
Tim's first international recognition came after he joined Belgian gypsy guitarist Fapy Lafertin in 1999. Since then, he has performed with a.o. Martin Taylor, Bob Wilber, Frankie Gavin, Bucky Pizzarelli, Richard Galliano and Stochelo Rosenberg. Tim appears at venues ranging from jazz clubs to classical concert halls.
As a jazz violin educator, Kliphuis hosts Grappelli Workshops around the globe and was featured in several editions of Fiddler Magazine. His Tuition Book and Tuition DVDs about Grappelli's style have been released by Mel Bay Publications (2008) and HyperHip Media (2009).
