The extraordinary accordion and bandoneon virtuoso Stéphane Chapuis has lost his life to a malignant illness.

He performed across a large range of music, from classical to jazz, to tango, to klezmer, and above all to roots music. He was engaged by many orchestras and taught at the Tibor Varga Music Academy in Sion.

May he rest in peace.
