Flairck


Flairck is a Dutch musical ensemble formed in the late 1970s around guitar virtuoso Erik Visser. The group has had varying members dependent on the projects undertaken.

The Netherlands has long experienced a variety of musical influences as befits a country of its cultural diversity. Flairck, formed by Erik Visser in 1978, has tapped into this confluence of musical inspirations, bringing with it its own originality. Like its music the name of the band is an original composition, coming from the English work 'flair' and the Dutch 'vlerk' which means a nimble fingered hand or wing, reflecting the instrumental speed and clarity of the music.

Flairck started as an instrumental group, playing acoustic instruments and composing the majority of its own material. In essence the music is a form of chamber music, classically influenced new 'traditional' music with touches of jazz and blues. However such a definition does little to convey the impact of Flairck's performances, which draw on a variety of influences. The number of instruments the group has collected on its many tours has grown steadily over the years and quite a few of these instruments are used in Flairck's theatrical stage settings.

Circus Hieronymus Bosch : Flairck/Corpus DVD:


The 'acrobatic' musicians of Flairck, Holland's foremost acoustic band and the 'musical' acrobats of Corpus, the well-known acrobatic theatre group from Amsterdam have joined forces in a new theatrical circus production called Circus Hieronymus Bosch.

For five hundred years after painting his unparalleled masterpieces, the Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch has never ceased to astonish those who have come into contact with his work.

This production was inspired by a long search for the meaning of the work by this most secretive master-painter of the Low Lands. It will be performed by an international cast of acrobats, dancers, musicians and technicians.
