Stef Conner is an alternative folk songwriter, composer and performer with a delicate and imaginative take on contemporary song. Her group the Stef Conner Trio are working on their debut EP in collaboration with Jazz Yorkshire, set for release in autumn 2011. 

She is developing a reputation as a distinctive and exciting new voice in contemporary composition, thanks to recent collaborations with artists such as Juice, The Kreutzer Quartet, The Nieuw Ensemble and Cadenza; and performances of her work in China, the UK, on BBC Radio 2 and at the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival.

She specializes in writing for voices and her highly original choral works have been performed by both professional and amateur choirs and vocal ensembles in the UK and abroad. Her instrumental music is tinged with voice-like qualities that reflect her fascination with the innate musicality of language and vocal expressions of human emotion.
