Who would have ever thought the words ‘musical genius’ and ‘recorder’ could be uttered in one sentence? Fluteman manages to combine the absurdity of playing one of the most simple of musical instruments - the recorder - with jaw-dropping skill, turning it into a hilarious one-man show with all of the classical hits, and more. Be prepared to watch a master at work, and at the same time, laugh your socks off.

Gabor Vosteen is a classical trained recorder player and comedian. His speciality is the playing of five recorders at the same. That's why he is often simply called "the fluteman". His unique combination of music with visual
comedy resulted in collaborations in different fields. His latest creation is his solo „The Fluteman Show“.
He was awarded with several prizes such as the audience prize Tuttlinger Krähe 2014, 1. Prize at
Kleinkunst- und Gauklerpreis Koblenz 2014, audience prize and 2. jury prize Niederstätter SurPrize in Bozen.
Gabor performed in shows as Night of the Proms, for Circus Roncalli and in Variety
Shows. And as well at venues such as Konzerthaus Wien, Konzerthaus Dortmund, KKL Luzern, Gewandhaus zu Leipzig and TV Shows as „Le plus grand Cabaret du Monde“.
"One is constantly busy with laughing that you almost miss to realize what brilliant virtuoso he actually is on this ordinary instrument called recorder."
" One has heard mozart's „little night music“ in several variations - but never played on five recorders! That is stupefying, crazy and awe-inspiring."
"...The studied musician mixes perfect mastery of the instrument with comedy and physical art. That is without words and makes one speechless. "
"With instruments coming out of his mouth and nose simultaneously, he amazed us with perfectly balanced chords and even a section from Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, played both musically and flawlessly"
