Canadian is top viola

The Primrose Competition, a kind of world cup for violists, has been won by Emad Zolfaghari, from Toronto.

He is 19 and studying at Curtis.

Second was Kinga Wojdalska, 25, from Poland.

This year’s competition, named for the British violist William Primrose, was held at the Colburn School in Los Angeles.

Emad says: ‘I would like to sincerely thank Christophe Landon for loaning me his incredible 1719 Carlo Bergonzi viola for the competition.’
