Stephen Lochbaum

Event Description

Stephen Lochbaum’s jazz and continuo experience has established him as a strong chamber musician and he enjoys an incredibly diverse array of chamber music performances. From medieval songs, to early Baroque Opera, Bach Cantata’s, Mozart Arias, Schubert songs, through to flamenco, Jaco Pastorius, Frank Zappa, and music from the Final Fantasy series. Stephen recently recorded an album with renowned audio specialist Drew Henderson.

Stephen received his Masters degree while studying with Dr. Alexander Dunn and Maestro Pepe Romero and went on to win the Canadian National Music Festival and perform with internationally recognized groups such as the Vancouver Cantata Singers with whom he performed Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s Romancero gitano and received his CBC radio debut.

He segued into jazz performance with Jason Corbett and became one of the most sought after jazz acts in Victoria. The duo was the highest billed group in Victoria’s 2010 International JazzFest and they enjoyed dozens of performances a year while their recordings and performances were featured on national radio, CBC Radio 1 and 3, and local television shows.

In 2011 Stephen received a full-time doctoral teaching fellowship to resume his classical studies at University of North Texas (UNT) with Tom Johnson. He won first prize at international competitions held by Indiana University, Texas A&M, University of Lousiville, Middle Tennessee State University, and the Florida Guitar Foundation.

Stephen developed a deep love of early music at UNT and began performing on theorbo, baroque guitar, lute, and cittern under the guidance of Julliard professor Daniel Swenberg. He was also able to study with Paul Leenhouts, Director of Early music at UNT and UN Lifetime Achievement recipient, and eventually form the duo In villam columbae. The two have composed and commissioned new works and made numerous arrangements for the surprisingly successful combination of guitar and recorder.
