Stephen Waarts’ innate and individual musical voice is establishing him as a firm favourite with audiences. With a voracious appetite for repertoire, Stephen has already performed over thirty standard, as well as rarely performed violin concertos, and is a passionate chamber musician.

For his debut recording Stephen has chosen the rarely played Schumann 1st violin sonata and the Three Romances, and the demanding 1st sonata by Bartok, and his Hungarian Folktunes. He is accompanied by fellow Rubicon artist Gabriele Carcano.

“From the first note of Stephen Waarts’ Brahms G major sonata I was hooked, and within a few bars I was moved to tears” (The Strad)

“Stephen Waarts gave an outstanding debut at the Kennedy Centers’s Terrace Theater…Waarts showed an uncommon, preternatural sense of tonal color and lyrical beauty on the instrument” (The Washington Post)

“Mr Waarts showed himself a technically accomplished and musically insightful artist..” (The New York Times)
