Not all musicians who have dedicated themselves to the recorder need a larger flat due to the large number of instruments. In addition, the housing market is tight and rents are rising and rising. However, if the artist we are describing here continues as he has done in recent weeks, he will probably have to look for a larger flat in the near future, not because of an almost unmanageable instrument portfolio - even though he plays up to 5 instruments at the same time. He will need the space for the many prizes and trophies he is currently collecting on his tours.
In the last few weeks alone, the musician has won the coveted YAM AWARD "Best small ensemble 2019". In doing so, he confidently took the top spot in this category against competitors from over 20 countries. And as if that wasn't enough for the month, he also bagged the coveted "Herborner Schlumpeweck" jury prize in the cabaret scene.
Now the interested readers are wondering: who can be the "best small ensemble" internationally with a recorder and win a cabaret award at the same time? He can: Gabor Vosteen. This multi-talented comedic recorder performer combines instrumental and artistic flights of fancy with the sophisticated subversion of traditional expectations of the "How does the joke end?" moment.
In the current FLUTEMAN show, he stretches the bow even further.
He rolls out a carpet of surprise moments for his audience and demonstrates his telepathic abilities by moving the corners of the mouths of those present upwards with recorder-like ease without touching his guests. Completely without words. Only with acting and musicianship. And his LEO, the unique bass in leopard look.
