Under the wings of his mother, Jappe (°2004) already took his first musical steps on the violin. This was soon followed by the discovery of a wide range of instruments such as percussion, trombone, bassoon and tuba with successful participations in national and international youth competitions.
 

At the age of 11, Jappe came into contact with bassoonist Francis Pollet, as a result of which things with the bassoon suddenly progressed rapidly and this instrument also became his instrument of choice. In November 2017, Jappe became laureate of the "Prix Dominique" in Venlo, where he also won the audience award. Solo performances with orchestra soon followed, which included concerti of A. Vivaldi, W.A. Mozart, C.M von Weber and G.Rossini.
 

He gained orchestral experience both at home and abroad at an early age. Jappe played with Concertgebouw Orchestra Young, Verbier Festival Junior Orchestra and Youth Orchestra Flanders, where he performed on stage with internationally renowned conductors such as Pablo Heras Casado, James Gaffigan, Roberto Gonzalez-Monjas.
 

Under the wings of his teacher and mentor Francis Pollet and thanks to the I SOLISTI ACADEMY, Jappe participated in numerous master classes at home and abroad. Sergio Azzolini, Gustavo Nuñez, Fredrik Ekdahl, Sophie Dervaux and many others can testify to his exceptional talent. He became first prize winner of the Princess Christina Competition in 2021 and since 2021 he is an I SOLISTI NextGeneration Artist.
 

Jappe is regularly invited to perform with renowned European orchestras such as, among others, the Bergen Philharmonic, Orchestra del Teatro Communale di Bologna and the Münchner Symphoniker. With these orchestras he performed on major international concert stages such as the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Konzerthaus Berlin and Herkulessaal München.
 

As an active chamber musician, he regularly appears on stage with, among others, clarinettist Reto Bieri, violinist Lisa Jacobs and horn player Hervé Joulain. As I SOLISTI Next Generation Artist, he regularly plays in Belgium with pianist Jan Michiels and several wind soloists from Belgian orchestras.
 

As a soloist too, Jappe can regularly be seen at home and abroad. In the 22-23 season, for instance, he made recital débuts in Poland and the Netherlands. Both as soloist and chamber musician he appeared several times on BR-Klassik, Dutch radio NPO-4 and the Belgian ‘Klara’ Radio.

Since October 2022, he has continued his studies at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Munich, in Dag Jensen's bassoon class. Since October 2023, Jappe has also been studying baroque bassoon with Katrin Lazar.
