Help het @animatoquartet en klarinettist @jelmerdemoed een album met kamermuziek van 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻 𝗞𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘀 te realiseren. Ter gelegenheid van de 80ste verjaardag van Tristan Keuris nemen ze het Eerste strijkkwartet en het Klarinetkwintet op. “Wij zijn al jaren diep geraakt door zijn werk en elke keer dat we het spelen voelen we hoe actueel en krachtig het is. Daarom willen wij zijn 80e verjaardag graag vieren zoals het hoort: met een nieuw album bij @challengerecords en een feestelijk concert waarin zijn muziek centraal staat.”
