About
The Klara Kollektiv is a Swedish-based chamber ensemble founded by violinist Manu Berkeljon, clarinetist Anna McGregor, and pianist Taru Kurki. Manu and Anna began playing together as members of the Dalecarlia Clarinet Quintet, whose album, Fjärran, won the Tui Award for Best Classical Album at the 2016 New Zealand music awards.
Nära, their first recording for Rattle, presents repertoire from their 2018 Chamber Music New Zealand tour, and celebrates their continued collaboration with New Zealand composer, Anthony Ritchie.
