Born in Davos, pianist Stefan Man received his first musical training in the talent programme of the Davos music school with Natalia Konovalova. This was followed by preparatory artistic studies at the Vorarlberg State Conservatory with Prof. Anna Adamik and a bachelor’s degree at the Zurich University of the Arts with Prof. Karl-Andreas Kolly, with whom he is now continuing his studies at master’s level. Masterclasses with Pavel Nersessian, Benjamin Engeli, Oliver Schnyder, Gerhard Vielhaber and Eckart Heiligers complement his training.
Stefan Man is a multiple prizewinner of the Swiss Youth Music Competition, where he was awarded a first prize with distinction. As a soloist he has performed with the Sinfonietta Vorarlberg and the Kammerphilharmonie Graubünden. Performances have also taken him to the ORF radio studio, the Kunsthalle Ziegelhütte in Appenzell and the Angelika-Kauffmann-Saal in Schwarzenberg.
Chamber music is a focus of his artistic work. Since 2018 he has been the pianist of The Silver Trio, which has twice won first prize at the Austrian national competition «Prima la Musica» and released the album «Beginnings» on Coviello Classics.
