"It was an absolute privilege to work alongside Stefan during his time as the Assistant Artistic Director of Desert Voices. Stefan brought not only remarkable musical talent but also a deep sense of purpose to our chorus. His skill as a conductor is matched by his ability to inspire confidence, connection, and joy in every singer he led.

Stefan’s leadership of our LGBTQ community chorus went beyond the podium—he supported a space where every individual felt valued, uplifted, and part of something larger than themselves. His artistry elevated our performances, while his compassion and authenticity strengthened our community.

Desert Voices is stronger and more vibrant because of Stefan’s contributions. His legacy will continue to resonate in the music Desert Voices creates and in the bonds he helped to nurture."
