Stef contributed three tracks to the fifth and last album of the European Music Archaeology Project series by Delphian Records, ‘Apollo and Dionysus: sounds from classical antiquity.’ Her sparse, gentle arrangement of two songs by Mesomedes of Crete opens the album, and she also sings Armand D’Angour’s reconstruction of the Delphic Paean of Athenaios of Athenaiou and a new reconstruction of Pindar’s 12th Pythian Ode with aulos player Barnaby Brown.

The CD is available from Delphian Records, as well as amazon, Spotify, itunes, and the usual streaming services. Order here!

“From ancient to modern at the flick of a switch: with music from over two millennia ago and music written yesterday, our sonic choices are disorientingly diverse … Apollo & Dionysus does not claim to be reconstructing the sounds of classical antiquity, but aims to create something more ambitious. The reconstructed instrument technology is impressive, from the growling trombone-like lituus and the eloquent twin-piped aulos, to the water-driven hydraulis organ. I was convinced by Stef Conner’s Delphic Paean, while the duet aulodia is pure Steve Reich.” — The Observer, September 2018

“Blowing the dust off our musical past – Delphian’s final disc with the European Music Archeology Project taps into the most authentic ancient sound world yet.” — Gramophone, September 2018
