Vaughan Schlepp (Tokyo, 1956) received his first piano lessons in England, where he performed at the age of five. He continued his studies in the United States, played a piano concerto when he was twelve and graduated magna cum laude from the Eastman School of Music in New York. His interest in early music took him to The Netherlands for study with Gustav Leonhardt. As a performer on the harpsichord as well as on the 18th and 19th-century fortepiano and the modern piano, Vaughan has given numerous recitals and master-classes throughout the world as well as having made recordings for radio, television and CD. He has performed as soloist with orchestras in The Netherlands and America, and as a chamber musician with artists as Anner Bijlsma, Lucy van Dael and Barbara Schlick. As organist he has participated in the recordings of the complete Bach Cantatas released in 2001. Vaughan Schlepp is intensively involved with modern music and theatre, and is active as a teacher and coach for both singers and instrumentalists. Since 1989, he has been in demand as an arranger, music typesetter and publisher.
