A passionate keyboardist, Florent Albrecht studied the modern piano with Laurent Cabasso, pianoforte with Pierre Goy and the harpsichord in the class of Kenneth Weiss.

Initially pursuing a career in the luxury industry, Florent encouraged and supported by his musician friends, joined the Geneva Conservatory (HEM) in pianoforte, from which he graduated #1 in 2018.
