Roeland Hendrikx is one of the leading clarinettists in Belgium. As well as being a clarinet soloist in the Belgian National Orchestra he is passionate about chamber music. He opts for the pure, spontaneous sound of the clarinet and wants to bring emotion and imagination to his rendition without adding any artistry or unnecessary intellect to the score. He strives for technical perfection in his performances; his flawless technique however is always at service of the music without dominating it.
In 2015 Roeland Hendrikx set up his own chamber music ensemble, which focusses on the rich repertoire for clarinet, piano and strings. At most there are six musicians on stage, but there are also programs offering trios, quartets or quintets.
For his ensemble Roeland Hendrikx surrounded himself with a number of like-minded people; soul mates. Musicians who share with him the same passion for chamber music, the experience and the pursuit of instrumental perfection.
Thanks to this musical coherence and by immersing himself in this connection with chamber music and the clarinet, the Ensemble wants to offer an extra dimension to the performance of this music; to further deepen the expression, allow the music to breathe more, sparkle. The ensemble strives for the wonderful symbiosis that takes place when passionate chamber musicians start playing together.
