排笛演奏家｜作曲家
Stefan Stanciu
史特凡．史坦丘
Stefan是位多才多藝的音樂家，身兼作曲家及音樂家。擅長的音樂類型從古典音樂到民俗音樂，甚至延伸至電子音樂。主修的樂器為排笛及雙簧管，演出曲目相當廣泛。經常在樂團及合奏中擔任獨奏者，不只在芬蘭，也曾到法國、羅馬尼亞、西班牙、奧地利、新加坡、韓國以及荷蘭等海外他國。
從七歲開始練習排笛，八歲時就在芬蘭發行了個人的第一張專輯。除了上百場獨奏的演出外，已經發行了十張不同音樂類型的專輯。近期的四張專輯主要是以古典音樂為主。
在芬蘭，他是在音樂機構及音樂教育使用排笛當樂器的先驅者。傳統而言，排笛並未納入芬蘭正式的音樂課程。他在赫爾辛基HelsInki音樂學院主修雙簧管，副修排笛。在2003年通過了個人排笛獨奏的考試，那是芬蘭第一次將排笛納入專業的考試項目。
在2007年，以雙簧管及排笛教育家的專長畢業於赫爾辛基理工大學。接著馬上進入Jyvakyla大學就讀，碩士論文主要研究如何將其他古典樂器的演出和排笛結合。在2008年以藝術碩士的資格，畢業於Jyvakyla大學的音樂系。
2012年，進入Sibelius學院民俗音樂學系的碩士課程。學習彈奏古代樂器，增進對北歐古代樂器的認知，以及研究排笛如何演奏、詮釋芬蘭及斯堪地維尼亞民俗音樂。在2014年取得Sibelius學院民俗音樂學系的碩士，直至今日，一直致力於結合民俗音樂及現代電子樂。
2017年初，出版了”Step-by-Step-Guide”德文排笛書籍。這本書不只對排笛的初學者有用，對專業的排笛演奏者亦有助益。其中的每一曲調、練習曲及重奏都由他作曲，而每一項皆有其教育目的及原理。
就在此時，他也開始了作曲家的職業生涯。第一項主要大型工作完成於2016年底，是關於排笛及管弦樂隊協奏曲的作曲。此工作可能會將他歸類為古典作曲家。此協奏曲較偏向新浪漫主義而非現代古典樂，但其中也有許多民俗音樂的元素，這首曲子在2017年11月首演。 2017年的秋天，他在Tampere 音樂學院開始作曲研究。作曲指導老師為Hannu Pohjannoro和Paavo Korpijaakko。在2009-2017年期間，他在相當專業的管樂團-赫爾辛基警察樂隊，擔任雙簧管及英國號角的吹奏者。除此之外，他也繼續排笛教學及作曲，並且擴展古典音樂、電子音樂及民俗音樂劇目，及持續在數個樂隊、管樂樂團和古典樂團的演出。
Professional Profile
Stefan Stanciu (b. 1982) | Composer, Music Pedagogue, Musician, Producer
I started to play the pan flute at the age of seven and released my first album already at the age of eight with a Finnish publishing and broadcasting company. I released my first four albums with the same company and was invited to perform in many TV programs as pan flute soloist. As time passed, I came to be known as “Stefan – the little pan flutist”. I became famous partly because I performed as a guest star in TV programs and concerts and partly because of my albums. I published six albums during my school years and performed in hundreds of concerts.
Nowadays I and my music are known not only among the people who love schlagers and popular tunes but also by the classical audience. My repertoire is wide. I play in ensembles and bands every now and then, but also as soloist for example in wind orchestras both in Finland and abroad. My performances have taken me to France, Romania, Spain, Austria, Taiwan, Singapore, and Holland, to mention but a few.
Traditionally, the pan flute has not been included in the official educational program of music in Finland. I began my education as a flutist and oboist. I majored in the oboe at the Helsinki Conservatory, the pan flute being accepted as my additional soloistic subject. In 2003, I passed the soloistic examination in pan flute. It was the first time the pan flute was accepted as an instrument for professional studies exam in Finland.
In 2007, I graduated from Stadia (nowadays Metropolia), the college of music at Helsinki Polytechnics, as oboe and pan flute pedagogue. I was simultaneously concluding my studies at the University of Jyväskylä. My master thesis focused on determining which parts of the classical repertoire composed for other instruments are technically and musically possible to play with the pan flute. In 2008, I graduated from the University of Jyväskylä, Department of Musicology as Master of Arts (filosofian maisteri).
In 2012, I enrolled in a Master’s Degree Program at Sibelius Academy, the Department of Folk Music. My ambition is to learn to play archaic instruments, improve my knowledge in the roots of Nordic archaic music and do research on whether the pan flute works as an instrument to perform and interpret Finnish and Scandinavian folk music. I was, and still am, particularly interested in combining folk music with modern electronic music. I graduated from Sibelius Academy in December 2014 as Master of Arts (musiikin maisteri).
At the beginning of 2017 published German Muscal-Verlag my pan flute book called Step-By-Step-Guide which is useful for every pan flutist, whether the player is a beginner or even professional. Every tune, etude or duo is composed by me and each work has its own purpose in a pedagogical sense.
In the same time started my career as a composer. My first major work got finished At the end of 2016, which was composing a concerto for pan flute and orchestra. Next fall I will have the opportunity to premiere it with a symphony orchestra! My composing genre is more neo-romantic than modern classical but it also has a hint of folk in it.
The year 2017 brought out three pan flute albums: ”Cantus Pantus”, ”No Panic!” and ”My Christmas”. First one has music from the baroque period (pan flute & harpsichord). The second one represents mostly composers from the 20th century (pan flute & piano). The third one you might guess. All albums contain also compositions made by me.
In 2017 I started my composition studies at Tampere Music Academy (TAMK Tampere University of applied sciences). My composing teachers are Hannu Pohjannoro and Paavo Korpijaakko.
In the year 2018 I finished my composition: Concerto for pan flute and wind orchestra. It was presented in December 2018 in Taiwan at International band festival with Chia Yi Wind Orchestra. I was in the same time the soloist in this concerto.
During my one-year studies in Rome (Conservatorio di musica Santa Cecilia) in 2018 – 2019 I finished my concerto for pan flute and string orchestra and also two suites: Helsinki suite & Capricious suite. My composing teacher were Maestro Maurizio Gabrieli (film scoring) and Maestro Riccardo Riccardi. In the end of 2022 I will e graduating as a composer.
My works have been presented e.g. by Finnish Navy Band (Meren laulu – Song for the sea: suite for wind orchestra; Turku, Finland 2018), Chia Yi Wind Orchestra (Lion overture, concerto for pan flute and wind orchestra; Taiwan 2018), Tampere Filharmonic Orchestra (Taidetestaajat-Project: Minute symphony: Zooming; Tampere, Finland 2017) Neue Quartet (Quattro formaggi for string quartet; Helsinki, Finland 2018), The Guards Band (Concerto for pan flute and wind orchestra; Helsinki 2020), Camerata Janáček (FantAsia for 2 wind instruments and string orchestra; Czechia 2021), Uusimaa Jousikvartetti (String Quartet No.1; “Forest´s Tale” Quintet for pan flute and string quartet; Hämeenlinna, Finland 2022), Jussi Salonen & Janne Hovi (Suite for voice and piano; Hämeenlinna, Finland 2022), Syrinx Consort (Balkan love story for pan flute and string orchestra, FantAsia, Quattro formaggi for string orchestra; Vienna, Austria 2022).
Between the years 2009-2017 I worked as oboe and english horn player at the Helsinki Police Band, a professional wind orchestra. Nowadays I continue my composing studies, teaching the pan flute and continuously extending my classical, electronic and folk music repertoire and performing regularly with various bands, orchestras, and classical music ensembles.
