The five musicians, Oliver Boekhoorn on oboe, Ivar Berix on clarinet, Raaf Hekkema on saxophone, Jelte Althuis on bass clarinet, and Alban Wesly on bassoon, are based in Amsterdam. They arrange, recompose and interpret music from classical to jazz. The ensemble will give a workshop after the show in Beijing.
