Now available for booking:  ECM Artist Florian Weber

 

Florian Weber 

German pianist Florian Weber (NDR Bigband), listed as #2 Rising Star Keyboardist of the Year 2025 in the DownBeat Magazine Critics Poll, has established himself as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary jazz piano. With his lyrical touch, subtle harmonic explorations and a strong sense for form and space, his music moves naturally between improvisation, classical influences and contemporary jazz.

For the upcoming seasons, he is available for:

  • Solo: In his solo program, Florian Weber dedicates himself entirely to free improvisation. Nothing is planned in advance – each note arises from the previous sound and develops into a chord, a motif, or a musical fragment that continues to unfold. Memory and imagination crystallize in the moment, giving shape to music that is both spontaneous and deeply reflective.
    Weber often incorporates ideas or melodic suggestions from the audience, weaving them into his improvisations and creating a shared musical experience. Every concert is unique: an exploration of sound where freedom, intuition, and dialogue find their voice.
  • Quartet: For his quartet, Florian Weber has written pieces tailored to each musician, inspired by what fascinates him about the specific sound of their instrument: the shimmering overtones of the cymbals, the delicate harmonics of the bass, the overblown tones of the flute. These compositions serve as starting points rather than fixed structures, offering a frame that allows the greatest possible freedom of expression.  Improvisation plays a central role – not as a soloistic display, but as a collective process. The focus lies on interaction, listening, and the blending of individual voices into a shared soundscape. Each performance becomes an exploration of color and texture, balancing composition and spontaneity in equal measure.
    Anna-Lena Schnabel – award-winning saxophonist and flutist, praised for her expressive, fearless and highly original style
    Michel Benita – acclaimed French bassist whose warm tone and melodic sensibility make him a sought-after collaborator across Europe
    Jeff Ballard – one of the most respected drummers in contemporary jazz, known for his rhythmic inventiveness and his work with Brad Mehldau and many others
    Florian Weber – a pianist with a refined sense of lyricism and form, bridging European traditions and modern jazz innovation

Together, they create a sound that combines European lyricism with transatlantic energy, offering both subtle textures and dynamic interplay.

 

The Florian Weber Quartet will be available for bookings from 21–31 May 2026.
+++  Solo recitals are available throughout the season 2026 / 2027 +++
