Stephan is a composer living and working in Bern, Switzerland. His music has been performed by amazing artists such as the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Festival Strings Lucerne, or the English National Ballet.

Stephan found his own personal voice through a curiosity about different musical styles and cultures and a keen interest in writing for large ensembles. Strongly based and educated in classical music, his artistic aim is to bring other genres, such as jazz, folk music or hip hop, into the classical sphere.

Recent career highlights include a ballet score for the English National Ballet’s Choreographics at the Barbican Centre London, UK, Happenstance for solo trumpet and winds, written for Giuliano Sommerhalder, premiered at Zofin Palace Prague, Czech Republic, or Circles for two clarinets, written for Irene Chen and Dimitri Ashkenazy. 

Two of Stephan’s orchestral songs, written for soprano Katerina Mina, were recorded by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Grzegorz Nowak, and PC-24 – a Musical Journey over the Alps, commissioned by Dan Dodds and the Festival Strings Lucerne, commemorates the launch of a new jet aircraft.   More
