As a founding member of the Sydney Youth Orchestra, Stephen’s interest and enthusiasm for music lead him to undertake formal training at Sydney University in both violin and composition with John Harding and Peter Sculthorpe respectively. Stephen also attained a Master of Music from Queensland Conservatorium of Music Griffith University, under the tutelage of Michele Walsh, specialising in violin performance and pedagogy. Stephen has been invited to perform with such groups as The ABC Sinfonia, The Badinerie Players, The Queensland Philharmonic Orchestra, The Queensland Symphony Orchestra, The Queensland Pops Orchestra and a number of professional chamber ensembles. He is also an examiner for the Australian Music Examination Board (AMEB). Under the banner of Everything String, Stephen publishes a number of string compositions and arrangements which have been used as test pieces for a number of competitions throughout Australia.
