Classically trained on violin, Steve is also an accomplished singer/songwriter, guitarist, author and storyteller. Honors include composer awards, Artist Fellowship Awards, and five fiddling championships. His recordings with The Night Heron Consort are national best-sellers. Beyond his solo work, he also appears with various guest musicians, symphony orchestras, and fellow storyteller, Odds Bodkin. (See additional Artist's Bio.)

Celtic Traditions

Fusing Celtic roots with classical and contemporary influences, their music reaches audiences on many different levels. Shows feature striking instrumental pieces, humor, and irrepressible singing. Venues have ranged from colleges and classical series to major folk festivals and The Kennedy Center. More on The Night Heron Consort >>.

A Symphony of Whales
symphony of whalesIn the winter of 1984-1985, nearly 3,000 whales were found trapped in the Senyavina Straight of Siberia. With the bitter cold, the water was freezing rapidly... In this work, award-winning musician and author Steve Schuch has taken the inspiration of a real life event - the musical rescue of these trapped whales - and conjured a truly memorable tale. A Symphony of Whales is available as a solo performance, a book, and a Multimedia Orchestral show.  More info on A Symphony of Whales >>
