Florian Weber Biosphere (2012)

Florian Weber s father (a piano teacher) recognized an unusual discipline in his son who daily, at the age of 4, upon returning home from kindergarten headed straight for the piano to practice. Florian began taking private lessons and by the time he graduated from high school he had participated in both classical and jazz ensembles. Several competition prizes later - including the Steinway & Sons prize at the Montreaux Jazz Festival Solo Piano Competition in 2001 - he graduated from music school (in Cologne and Berklee).
