From Stephen, Germany

01 January 2020

Stephen, Germany

51 years old. From Leeds, UK. I've been in Germany since 2009. After 15 years as a freelance musician in London. I received a text message asking if anyone knew of any German speaking conductors. After replying 'yes - me!' I found myself one plane to Berlin 2 days later. I am lucky enough to have a permanent job here, a 5 year old son and German citizenship so, despite Brexit, I am planning to stay.
