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.
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.
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.
