PARIS - Piano Concert - Florian Christl

"Florian Christl's passionate way of playing the Piano and his distinctive style of composition, which is both exciting and deeply moving, shows the all-encompassing love for music of the Munich-based composer. The mix of sometimes soothing, sometimes powerful piano sounds in combination with extremely imaginative and exciting string arrangements makes Florian Christl's music unique in a very special way. His music is radically unafraid of appealing directly to our emotions, which makes attending his live performance a moving experience. Improvisation is Florian's most important creative method. For him, composing is a deeply personal, almost intimate process in which the composer remains alone with his music and his thoughts. The aim is to create a space to think, that can be experienced individually; a place where it's all about: „It’s time to leave reality behind, to sink in thoughts to feel alive.“"
