Lloyd Van't Hoff with Selby & Friends

Our Head of Woodwinds, Lloyd Van't Hoff, is currently touring the country with Kathryn Selby (piano) and Natalie Chee (violin) as part of the Selby & Friends series, performing Brahms and Bartók in Adelaide (7 July), Sydney (8 July), Melbourne (10 July), Canberra (12 July), Bowral (13 July) and Turramurra (14 July).


'Brahms's sonata is characterised by some gorgeous tunes, with the emphasis firmly on the musicality of the clarinet, which, in Lloyd Van't Hoff's expert hands, resembles a melodious human voice. [...] Selby and Van't Hoff combined wonderfully.'

'Lloyd Van't Hoff is an engaging clarinettist to watch. His beaming face smiles throughout his performances as he acknowledges his collaborators, and the audience. From an audience perspective, it feels that he is playing just for you. His body is animated, and he rises and falls with the music's arc. The tender opening of the Brahms hears Van't Hoff produce beautifully rounded tones, and it only gets better in the Allegro appassionato second movement in which Van't Hoff and Selby are sharp as a razor with the good-humoured conversation between the two instruments, especially in the gorgeous trio section.'
