Stephan is dedicated, charming, patient and relaxed, he has a wonderful eye for detail and a delightfully cheeky sense of humour. And in the years I have known him, no matter how difficult a situation we have both encountered, everything has been handled with extreme grace and class.

I have had the great pleasure of knowing Stephan Brekelmans since 2001, when we met after performances of mine at a festival in Linschoten. I was immediately struck by his great warmth, deep passion for music (indeed, the arts in general) and his amazing ability to make people feel at ease; almost as if one has known him for years already. It seemed completely logical then that we would begin working together and that he would take on my general management: for his trust, and his courage in taking so many risks on me, I am deeply grateful.

There is no doubt in my mind that he would make the most wonderful companion for opera, concerts, museums or otherwise – I wish him all the best in what I know will be hugely successful endeavour.
