Rutger Mathys is steadily building his international career as a jazz harmonica player. The Klara “Twintiger” of 2024 has performed at major festivals like Brussels, Ghent, and North Sea Jazz and collaborated with legends such as Philippe Catherine and Kenny Werner. His music transcends borders, taking him from Italy to New York, Vietnam, and in 2025, Brazil.

Inspired by his Duo Gaitar partner, guitarist Marijn van der Linden, Rutger fell in love with choro and samba, crossing the ocean to perform with some of Brazil’s icons like Hamilton da Holanda and in legendary venues such as Clube do Choro.

Back in Belgium, Rutger works closely with world-renowned conductor Dirk Brossé. Through several productions in venues such as the Queen Elisabeth Hall, they have developed a common musical playground where their two personalities naturally meet.

Now, with A Barra Clara do Brasil, he brings together all these worlds into a vibrant and dynamic new project.
