Femke Mooren’s Quartet plays melodic modern jazz, inspired by situations and stories that have happened in real life. Led by 21-year-old saxophonist Femke Mooren, the quartet from Rotterdam won the prestigious Princess Christina Jazz Concours in 2023. Their music is characterised by Femke’s clear and engaging compositions which allow each band member to shine. Beyond the stage, the quartet shares a special bond as a great group of friends, which clearly shows in the performance and enhances the dynamic expression of the band.

Besides her quartet, Femke also plays in the National Youth Jazz Orchestra under Maite Hontelé’s direction and performs with Peter Beets & Henk Meutgeert New Jazz Orchestra. In addition to this, she won the Women in Jazz Prize in 2023 and performed on major stages such as North Sea Jazz and the Aarhus Jazz Festival.
