About Stefan Bulyha
Stefan Bulyha began his musical path under the guidance of Mykola Protas. After graduating from school, he completed a four-year course at the College of the Glier Academy of Music in Kyiv with Roman Vovk. In December 2020, Stefan successfully auditioned for the Royal Academy of Music in London, securing a prestigious double scholarship to study with Chris Richards. During his time in the UK, he won the Sevenoaks Young Musician of the Year Competition and the Grand Prix at the Buffet Crampon Clarinet Prize.
Since 2025, Stefan has been a guest clarinetist with the London Symphony Orchestra and the Sinfonia of London. A passionate advocate for contemporary and Ukrainian classical music, he performed the British premiere of Vitaliy Gubarenko’s Aria at the Royal Festival Hall with the London Contemporary Orchestra (2022) and premiered Alice Zaika’s Chimera at LSO St Luke’s as part of the LSO Discovery series (2023).
Stefan has won the Alcobaça Chamber Music Competition (Portugal), the Zodiac Festival Chamber Music Award (France), and the Silverstein Global Clarinet Contest (USA), and has studied under Martin Fröst, Yehuda Gilad, and Andrew Marriner.
Stafen has also performed with the Youth Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine (YsOU) and the Pan-Caucasian Youth Orchestra, working with Sir Antonio Pappano, Sir Mark Elder, Edward Gardner, John Wilson, Oksana Lyniv, Charles Dutoit, Vasyl Petrenko, and Derrick Inouye. His artistic development has been generously supported by the Talent Unlimited Foundation, the Drake Calleja Trust, the Hattori Foundation, and the Hnatyshyn Foundation.
