In November, Stefan made his Vancouver debut on the Vancouver Recital Series. The Vancouver Sun declared, "this was a recital to write home about... a lovely introduction to a fiddle player who possesses all the traditional virtues and a highly distinctive sound thrown into the bargain... delivered with haunting sincerity" (read the review). From Vancouver, Stefan flew to Santiago de Compostela, Spain, for performances with the Real Filharmonica de Galicia under Christoph König.
