Stevens has performed recitals for 20 annual national conventions of the Organ Historical Society, for regional conventions of the American Guild of Organists (AGO) and for national conventions of the American Institute of Organbuilders.

His performances have been broadcast over National Public Radio on “Performance Today” and over American Public Radio on “Pipedreams.” He is director of Historic Organ Study Tours (HOST), which he founded to further the study of historic organs in Europe and elsewhere.
