Floris Kappeyne is an award-winning pianist and composer based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

With a background in both jazz and classical piano and a particular interest in merging these genres, his primary musical focus is on his longstanding trio, featuring Tijs Klaassen on bass and Wouter Kühne on drums.

Following the albums "Interchange" (2017) and "Synesthesia" (2019), their release, "Closer" (2023) received positive reviews from both national and international press. The most recent trio recording “Live at the Hot House” is being released in singles every month in 2026 on Bandcamp and showcases their approach to the jazz tradition.

In addition to his trio work, Floris debuted a solo piano album titled "Half of What I Say Is Meaningless" in 2020. He also serves as a sideman in various projects, including the Tijs Klaassen Quintet, Anti Panopticon, Alistair Payne's REFLEX, Govreen Quartet and Mo van der Does' Motet.

As the initiator of the Echo Collective, Floris received a commission to compose "Echo," an interdisciplinary piece involving nine singers, synthesizer, two pianos, and percussion, presented at the Bimhuis in Amsterdam as part of the International Jazz Week in 2021.

After graduating from the Conservatory of Amsterdam, Floris started creating educational video’s on jazz piano based on Instagram and Patreon, reaching over 19K subscribers in less than two years.

Floris teaches main subject jazz piano at the Junior Jazz College at the Conservatory of Amsterdam, and privately in his studio
