NA + 5 clarinet quintet of the Philharmonie Salzburg

The ensemble NA + 5 consists of five young Austrian clarinettists who met while studying the clarinet in Vienna at the MuK with Alexander Neubauer. The aforementioned clarinet quintet was founded in order to open up the possibility of making music in the classroom on a regular basis. In addition, it is particularly appealing to explore the possibilities of the clarinet ensemble outside of the usual quartet literature in arrangements for quintet. NA+5 has also had numerous successes in various competitions, such as the 2nd International Franz Cibulka Competition, the Fidelio Competition 2019 and Musica Juventutis. Characteristic of the young ensemble are, among other things, an unconventional repertoire and great curiosity about the music of contemporaries, which is expressed, for example, in the awarding of composition commissions.
