Wilhelm Magner
The first violist in 111 years of the competition to be awarded the Prix d'Europe in 2022, Wilhelm's solo engagements in 2023-2024 include recitals and chamber music concerts in Canada, the United States and Poland. He is interested in expanding the viola repertoire and has transcribed many works by composers such as Bach, Lutoslawski, Paganini and Waxman for the viola. In addition to performing, he has given master classes in the USA and Canada.
He holds a master's degree in viola performance from Yale University in the class of Ettore Causa. Previously, he studied with Prof. André Roy at McGill University. He was named to CBC Music's "30 under 30" list in 2022.
He is a recipient of the Sylva Gelber Foundation award. He plays a Ryan Soltis, Nelson, 2023 viola and an Ouchard bow generously loaned by CANIMEX INC. of Drummondville (Quebec), Canada.
