Quadraphonnes

"Not the first all-female sax quartet on earth, but perhaps the most entertaining and rewarding, playing everything from original jazz compositions to soul tunes, New Orleans second line to Phillip Glass compositions. Their music is danceable, joyous, serious, and all-around spectacular." - About Face Magazine

The Quadraphonnes have been a veritable force within the Pacific Northwest for almost 20 years. In addition to being featured performers at our beloved local Jazz festivals, clubs, concert halls and radio stations, the Quads have toured SoCal, released several albums and produced the multi-media event Tone-Color Melody. A recent collaboration with Portland’s favorite local film score composer, Mark Orton, resulted in their debut performance on the soundtrack of Miramax’s 2023 production of The Holdovers. In addition to performances small and large, the Quads are also deeply rooted in music education and love to teach clinics and workshops.

Mieke Bruggeman, Chelsea Luker, Michelle Medler and Mary-Sue Tobin compose, arrange, collaborate, educate and scheme to make as many people as possible fall in love with everything saxophone!

"Let’s face it, if not for the Quadraphonnes, Portland would probably never hear saxophone quartet music in any genre."
