Felix Klieser

Felix Klieser (born 3 January 1991) is a German professional player of the French horn. He was born without arms. He plays the horn by using the toes of his left foot to operate the valves. The horn is held on a tripod. He does not place a limb inside the bell of the horn, in contrast to the way the instrument is traditionally played, using the left hand to operate the valves and placing the right hand inside the bell. He was born in Göttingen. He began playing the horn at the age of 4. He studied at the Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien Hannover. In 2016 he received the Leonard Bernstein Award.
