Stefan Rogers

Assistant Conductor

Stefan Rogers is a cellist and conductor currently in his final year of undergraduate studies at the Royal Northern College of Music where he currently studies with Nicholas Trygstad. In his teenage years Stefan became an active orchestral musician playing principal positions in both Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire County Youth Orchestra’s. With these orchestra’s he was fortunate to play under a range of internationally recognised conductors including: Vladimir Ashkenazy, Timothy Redmond and Ben Gernon, as well as with members of several of the country’s top orchestras including: The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and Philharmonia Orchestra.

 

In 2014 Stefan began studying cello at Junior Guildhall School of Music and Drama, originally with Gillian Thoday and later with Selma Gokcen. It was during this time Stefan was first able to appear on stage as a conductor, with his first experience of orchestral conducting being in 2017 with a performance of Saint-Saens Cello Concerto in A minor with Cambridgeshire County Youth Orchestra.

 

At the RNCM, Stefan has taken part in concerts with both college orchestras and ensembles and had the opportunity to work with many internationally acclaimed conductors and instrumentalists. As of September of 2019 he, has been a member of the Franco-Mendes Quartet who have received tuition from members of some of the worlds leading quartets and trios both inside and outside of the RNCM, and have found success performing across the UK. In recent years Stefan has been studying conducting privately with Peter Stark and wishes to make it a more active part of his life as orchestral work becomes more viable post-covid. As a conductor Stefan wishes to raise interest in the music of lesser-known Russian composers such as: Nikolai Myaskovsky, Alexander Mosolov and Nikolai Roslavets.

​

Stefan is thankful to currently play on a 2017 Robin Aitchison cello modelled on the Marquis de Corberon Stradivarius.
