Stéphane penned the theme song to Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris" and scored Allen's latest film, Rifkin’s Festival. He has performed live for the 2012 Academy Awards, has headlined at Carnegie Hall, Town Hall and the the Lyon Opera House and has been called “a revelation” by Rolling Stone magazine.
His acclaimed album, Django l'Impressionniste, is a transcription of the master's solo improvisations, which Wrembel essentially treats as a book of classical preludes
Stéphane has has released 6 albums under the moniker "The Django Experiment" and produces a yearly festival, Django a go go.
