Steinway Artist John Stetch is a 6-time Juno Nominee, and has written dozens of compositions for solo piano, jazz combo and more recently, classical chamber formats. Originally from Edmonton, he attended McGill University and later moved to New York where he played his own music at the top clubs including Mezzrow, Smalls, Smoke and the Jazz Standard. Stetch divides his time between Vancouver and NYC, and is especially passionate about softening the barrier that divides classical and jazz, and fusing ethnic and popular music with his personal jazz stamp. He is currently pursuing a Master's of Music in classical composition at UBC and is on the faculty of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra School of Music. Stetch just released his 14th CD - Vulneraville: The Vancouver Concert.
