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.
