The Nefertiti Quartet won the Euroradio Jazz Competition in 2019 (Pierre Demange also won the prize for best soloist) and was selected for the French support program Jazz Migration #5.
On two consecutive evenings at the end of November, the quartet will record its new live album at the LOFT.

Pianist since she was a kid, Delphine studied classical piano in Paris until her majority and began Jazz at Annecy’s conservatory while pursuing a physics degree. Back in Paris, she enters the regional conservatory in 2012 and gets her diploma after 2 years with Benjamin Moussay, Pierre Bertrand and Emil Spanyi. Leader and composer, Delphine managed to bring in 10 years her quartet Nefertiti to the emerging european scene level : First group prize at the Euroradio Jazz Competition 2019, Jazz Migration laureate in 2020, Winner of the Keep an Eye Records Competition in 2022… The band has records 4 albums (Danses Futuristes in 2015, Morse Code in 2018, Frameless in 2022 and Live in Paris in 2023), and keeps touring all over Europe.
As a side-woman, Delphine won twice the soloist prize at Trophées du Sunset, first with the Tactus Quintet (Clément Piezanowski) in 2019 then with Opiq Vanjo (Ivan Quintero) in 2022. Two quintets in which she explores original répertoires largely influenced by the New York Jazz Scene, funk and Jazz Rock.
Delphine also had the opportunity to attend several europeans workshops such as SOFIA 2016 (Support of Female Improvising Artists) in Switzerland, and the International Jazz Platform 2019, 2022 and 2023 in Poland. In 2023, she’s selected by the French Association Jazzé Croisé for the pilot project Constellations, a new partnership between european emerging programs which will give her the opportunity to do a business residency in Köln and develop her network in Germany.
