Wilhelm Magner

Described as “one of the most exciting viola voices to emerge in recent years”, Wilhelm Magner became the first violist in the 111-year history of the Prix d’Europe to receive the award (2022). His interpretations are noted for “original conception” and “careful and musical research” (Béatrice Cadrin, Ludwig Van Montréal). In 2024, he was nominated for an OPUS Prize for Concert of the Year, Modern and Contemporary Music, for his performance of Walton’s Viola Concerto with the Drummondville Symphony Orchestra.
