How FLORALE began

Florian, Rainer and Leander with guitars on a staircase

FLORALE started with a simple question: Florian asked Rainer if he would join him on violin for a few events.

They met for a first rehearsal at Rainer’s home.

That’s when the idea came up to bring in Leander, Rainer’s son. He picked up his guitar – and suddenly violin, vocals and guitar were a trio.

At that first rehearsal together, it was clear it worked.

Florian suggested turning this into a project of its own. All that was missing was a name. The answer was close at hand: FLOrian, RAiner and LEander became FLORALE.

After a few rehearsals it was obvious the trio still needed a rhythmic foundation. At a rehearsal in the ErLebt Kirche, Rainer heard Sebastian on drums and invited him to join.

Sebastian was the missing piece. His name never made it into the band name, but with him FLORALE was complete.

Today four musicians stand behind FLORALE – connected by the joy of playing together.
