classic.

Synthagma plays its own compositions as well as transcriptions of classical music. We particularly like French organ music from the late Romantic era and create our own interpretations of the great works composed by Boëllmann, Lefébure-Wély, Lemmens...

art.

"If it is art, it is not for all, and if it is for all, it is not art." (A. Schönberg). We know that our music is not mainstream - we consider our music to be art. Feel free to form your own opinion.

rock.

"A type of popular music with a strong, loud beat that is usually played with electric guitars and drums" (Cambridge Dictionary). Fortunately, this is only half the truth!

leichlingen.

Leichlingen (Rheinland) is a floral town with 27,000 inhabitants, situated between Cologne and Düsseldorf in North Rhine-Westphalia, in the middle west of Germany. In 2013, Leichlingen received the honor of adding the name suffix "Blossom City" (Blütenstadt).


band history

The foundation of Synthagma goes back to late 2021 in the middle of the pandemic when drummer Thomas (Ex-Trespass) and organ/keyboard player Ropp (Ex-Kampai, Ex-Emarald-Edge) met again after some years and decided to form a new band and to search for suitable band members. Both musicians were former founding members of INQUIRE in 1996 (disbanded in 2003 - temporarily reunited for a shot interval in 2009). They played together on four highly recommended INQUIRE albums before their ways split for some years but they continuously stayed in loose touch. In 2023 they met their exceptional guitarist Roland and started intensive rehearsals and in 2024 bass player Thomas joined and completed the band.
