Florian Burgener was born in Brig-Glis in the Upper Valais in 1971. He now lives with his family in Bitsch.
Florian began his musical training at the age of 12 with the trumpet and was able to turn this into a profession in 1996, where he received a teaching diploma for trumpet and pedagogy from the conservatory in Zurich under Claude Rippas.
Florian has been teaching trumpet and cornet at the Allgemeine Musikschule Oberwallis since 1991 – and has also been teaching alphorn since 2017. In addition, he conducts the music societies from Münster and Betten/Bettmeralp. His constant family trips to Oberried in the Valais have awakened in him a passion for natural tone playing on the alphorn and buechel. In 2016 he founded the trio Spirit of Alphorn with 2 female musicians with the instrumentation: alphorn, pan flute and organ.
Florian is a member of the Upper Valais Alphorn Association. Since 2017 Florian is a member of the WJV and the EJV and is involved with ARCDA-ARY as a composer as well as a course instructor j+m. Since 2019, he has also played Büchel. In 2020 he will publish an anthology for alphorn & Büchel with 20 original compositions incl.
a selection of sound samples on CD.
He also arranges and composes for other types of instrumentation.
