Tuur Florizoone

At the age of 17, Tuur went to Brazil for a year (with accordion) and discovered a new, percussive way of making music. Soon he was playing in several groups, taking workshops with Nana Vasconselos, among others, and gaining unforgettable experiences.
Tuur Florizoone has quickly become one of the most popular musicians in Belgium. With his irresistible stage presence, he has shown that an accordion is capable of much more than the usual street corner hoempapa... In 2008, at the prestigious World Soundtrack Awards, audiences fell in love with his passionate
score for the Flemish film ‘Aanrijding in Moscou’.
Melancholic, simple melodies that set the stage for a broad palette of emotions and colours are Tuur's forte. With a
minimum resources, making as much music as possible.
Own label In 2010, Tuur founded his own music label ‘Aventura Musica’, on which 10 records have since been released.
In July 1999, Tuur founded the group ‘Tricycle’ (www.tricycle.be) with bassist Vincent Noiret and Philippe Laloy on soprano sax.
Together with tubist Michel Massot and cellist Marine Horbaczewsi, Tuur forms the trio ‘Massot/Florizoone/ Horbaczewski.
‘SECRETS’ 2016, a project with soprano Claron McFadden and Massot/ Florizoone/Horbaczewski. The musicians set secrets sent anonymously to music and images. Production: Muziektheater Transparant. CD release: January 2017
It was written in the stars that Tuur Florizoone and diatonic accordionist Didier Laloy (Urban Trad, Tref, S- Tres, Accordeon Samurai...) would one day work together musically.
Since 2016, Tuur has been playing with star trumpeter Eric Vloeimans (NL) on a regular basis. When not playing in duo, the gentlemen are flanked by cello virtuoso Jörg- Tuur has been playing since August
2003 with Quentin Dujardin1. Atmospheric music with a very personal and multicultural sound. Jazz, Flamenco or Arabic music, the influences are numerous, thanks also to the contribution of Moroccan violinist Jalal El Allouli.
SOLO CD: ‘Night Shift’ 2020, Aventura Musica
