About the artist

This fiery foursome delivers a blend of virtuosic classical, danceable folk and blazing rock. From Bach to The Beatles, from Stairway to Heaven to Highway to Hell: a musical rollercoaster where classical masterpieces and original compositions burst with energy and joy. Violinist Floris Willem, classically trained in Vienna, leaps and dances across the stage as if his bow were on fire. He’s joined by Gert Peeten on piano and guitar, Dries Peeten on bass and Simon Schrooten on drums and electronics. From BOZAR to Gentse Feesten and Muziekgebouw Eindhoven, Floris and the Flames combines finesse and fireworks in an explosive live show. Sparks have flown internationally as well, including performances in Vienna, Warsaw, Prague and at the World Expos in Osaka and Dubai.
