Tim Kliphuis Trio live in Sheffield

Experience Tim Kliphuis Trio live on June 27th

Tim Kliphuis Trio will perform at St Nicholas Church in Sheffield on June 27, 2026. The trio presents a distinctive style often described as ‘Gypsy Jazz Nouveau’, blending the virtuosic traditions of Django Reinhardt with influences from classical music, Brazilian choro, and contemporary jazz. Tim Kliphuis, a Dutch violinist, is central to this sound, known for his rapid-fire improvisations and technical skill. The ensemble typically features upright bass and acoustic guitar alongside Kliphuis’ violin, creating a dynamic and energetic performance atmosphere.

St Nicholas Church holds historical significance within Sheffield. Originally built in the 12th century, the current structure largely dates from the 14th and 15th centuries, though significant Victorian restoration work occurred in the late 19th century led by George Gilbert Scott the Younger. It is one of the oldest buildings in Sheffield city centre and served for many years as a parish church before becoming redundant in 1995. Since then, it has been managed by the Churches Conservation Trust and functions primarily as a heritage site and occasional events space, valued for its architectural importance and historical context within Sheffield's urban landscape.
