Dominik Schneider

From an early age Dominik began to play every instrument he could get his hands on, but finally ended up studying the recorder at the Folkwang Musikhochschule in Essen. In his postgraduate studies at the Musikhochschule Cologne he explored the world of renaissance and baroque traverse flutes.

"Dominik Schneider plays his flutes like Pan. Enchanting and seducing us to follow him  wherever he desires to take his willing captives! " Evelyn Tubb

Following in the tradition of renaissance flute players, who generally made their own instruments, Dominik exclusively plays renaissance transverse flutes built in his own workshop.

"With an air of confidence he exchanged between sundry flutes of various sizes and even became a vocal duo partner in a number of the songs. Then sometimes like a jester he slid his plucked instrument onto his back, so he could be free to grasp yet another flute, all this without slightly impairing the sovereignty of his playing."  Rheinishe Post
