Stef Conner

British vocalist and instrumentalist Stef Conner is a prominent artist in the fields of jazz, traditional folk music, and classical early music, and she is noted for her ease of movement between genres and skill in interpreting ancient and modern poetry. She earned her doctorate in music composition at the University of York and became a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the University of Huddersfield, where she concentrated on research in ancient Mesopotamian music. Conner's professional career began as a pianist and singer with the Unthanks, a Northumbrian folk band with whom she performed as a member until 2009. She developed her skills in a period of intense study and performance, and two of her compositions were premiered at the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival. In 2011, she was the recipient of the Royal Philharmonic Society Composition Prize for Composition. In 2014, she produced her first album, The Flood, where she was joined by her group, the Lyre Ensemble. She played a reconstructed 4,500-year-old Gold Lyre of Ur, and won international attention with live and online performances. In addition to singing and performing with the Lyre Ensemble, Conner has continued composing music for classical orchestras, chamber groups, and solo artists, bridging gaps between stylistic categories. In 2014, Conner became composer-in-residence with the charity group Streetwise Opera, and gave her first opera, People Watch, at the Tête-à-Tête Opera Festival in 2015. Conner's recordings include Archive Treasures: 2005-2015 with the Unthanks on Rabble Rouser Records, Aetheria: Music of the Sky, Air & Atmosphere with the Esoterics, and Apollo & Dionysus: Sounds from Classical Antiquity, a part of the European Music Archaeology Project on Delphian.
