Florian Schwamborn
A Franco-German pianist, composer, and music producer, Florian Schwamborn develops a singular musical language at the crossroads of classical music, jazz improvisation, and electronic sound. Moving freely between composed and improvised forms, his work spans concert music, theatre, sound installations, documentary films, and collaborations with orchestras and ensembles.
Born on the Franco-German border, he grew up exploring the piano through the music and texts of different eras. After studying classical piano and composition in his hometown, he continued his education at the Conservatoire de Paris, where he also developed a particular interest in the relationship between music and dramaturgy. Initially drawn to composing for the stage, his artistic path gradually expanded towards contemporary classical music, with free improvisation becoming the central element of his creative practice.
His work has been shaped by several artistic residencies, notably at the Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics (IEM) in Graz, Austria, and at the International Society for Contemporary Music in Switzerland. He has presented his music at the Mixtur Festival in Barcelona and the Impuls Festival in Graz, and was nominated for the Quattropole Music Prize.
Deeply connected to nature and the living world, his compositions emerge from an attentive observation of his surroundings. Travel has played an equally important role in shaping his artistic perspective. Having spent several years on the island of Tahiti, he became fascinated by the musical traditions of the Pacific and by the cultural heritage preserved through centuries of geographical isolation. This experience opened a wider exploration of traditional music and its transmission across generations.
His subsequent journeys through Central Africa and South America further deepened this research, leading him to investigate musical traditions that remain alive today. Working alongside archivists, music producers, and documentary filmmakers, he explores the connections between musical heritage, memory, and contemporary creation.
At the intersection of musical traditions, improvisation, and contemporary composition, his work reflects an ongoing dialogue between cultures, landscapes, and sound worlds.

1st Single Piano solo Release
With As Healing In A Golden Cage, Florian Schwamborn releases his first solo piano single. Composed in 2022 and recorded on a concert grand piano in 2026, the piece builds a bridge between the early classical explorations of Bach’s sons and various fusion styles, including folk, jazz, and trip-hop.
This composition marks the French-German musician’s return to his instrument after a period devoted to composing for orchestras, ensembles, and electronic productions. In 2026, he decides to record the piece in the studio on a concert grand piano as a tribute to the sound of some of his major musical influences: Brad Mehldau, Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett, and Paul Bley…
Balancing the sincerity of instrumental performance with the malleable aesthetics of digital composition, and moving between the freedom of improvisation and the structure of composition, Florian Schwamborn explores the solo piano genre in his own distinctive way. The result is personal, poetic music whose sounds unfold like entries in a mood journal.
