About Mark and Steffi With only 8000 Chapman Sticks worldwide, they are one of the most seldom seen and rarely heard instruments in the world. Today Mark White and Stefanie Barthel are the only Stick-Duo in the world. With the elegant sound of the Chapman Stick, they specialize in such music as Celtic, Romantic and Classic Rock.
Mark (Austin, Texas) and Steffi (Ulm, Germany) met in a small town on the east coast of Australia called Coffs Harbour, in November 2016. Immediately they saw a connection between the two of them and began traveling together. After 6 months, Mark decided to share his passion with Steffi and started to teach her the Chapman Stick. She caught on quickly and put in hours of practice every day. After performing in several countries, they started working on a new project together, a compilation with original Celtic peaces by Mark.
Now, 2 years later their first album together “New Beginning” is finally finished. Mark and Steffi continue to travel around the world and share their music with different cultures.
Beautiful production by beautiful players. Mark and Steffi are filmed from every angle, the landscape as well. On two Sticks, the Celtic inspired music is orchestrated from every aspect.
From "Heartstrings" to Heart Springs capturing a romantic mood.

Re: Mark and Steffi play Stick
That is so special!
Thanks for the background Steve. I find this so inspiring and check this out... I’ve just met someone and she digs the stick. Who knows, one day we might play together. My new friend had a play yesterday and it was uncanny. some of the things she was going for were very stick.
Anyhow back to Mark and Steffi, congrats you two, on your love, connection and your music.
