Stephan Conrady spent most of this life in Kordel, a small town in Germany, near Trier, situated along the riverbanks of the Mosel.  he started playing the piano at an early age inspired by Cziffra, Horowitz, Perlemuter and Cortot. Living so closely to the Archbishop of Trier, he became fascinated by the grandness in size, sound and scope of the pipe organs.  Vitezslav Vorbornik, a Czech organist, pianist and composer took Stephan under his wings and taught him how to master this instrument.

He played during morning services at the Christkoenig Kirche and Jesuiten Kirche in Trier, the Protestant Church is Bitburg, St. Amandus in Kordel, and was invited to play for Bishop Stein on his 75th birthday. Stephan also played a big role in the band “Software” in their beginning phase, while performing on synthesizer and Fender Rhode E-Piano, which resulted in the release of two albums: “Syncode” and “Chip Meditation.” Stephan continued his studies and graduated as a pipe organ and harmonium builder from the Oskar Walcker Institute in Ludwigsburg, one of the most famous and accredited trade schools for organ building in the world.

Outside of church, Stephan is known as Organ Builder, Technician, Tuning and Repair Specialist, and also as piano tuner and technician, in Vermont, New England and Quebec.
