Saxophonist and composer Koen Boeijinga presents his award-winning group MOA: an eight-person ensemble consisting of both young/rising and established jazz musicians with a shared love for innovation and musical freedom. This modern tribe presents an eclectic and compelling performance in which primitive and modern ethics are merged. Combining eastern and western instruments creates an innovative harmony of sound as folk music is united with improvising and MOA's attitude of exploration. MOA celebrates global sounds, communal interplay and freedom. A dynamic voyage through strong emotions brought to life by a full force of musicians, instruments and sounds.
"MOA revives the ‘old’ in a contemporary context, delivering an innovative and eclectic performance full of surprises."
