I'm Steffan. I'm a classically trained musician, having studied music at Christ Church, Oxford and cello at the Royal College of Music. As a cellist my work has ranged from solo and chamber music to orchestral; live concerts and opera performances to sessions and immersive theatre. I moved into composing when my children were born to spend more time at home and my writing brings together all the strands of my training and my experience as a performer. I love to collaborate with other creatives and draw inspiration from different art forms, especially exploring the possibilities of storytelling in music. With The Lost Estate I have worked extensively in immersive settings, collaborating with theatre and dance in jazz, folk and classical idioms.
