London violinist is honoured by Telemann’s town
NewsThe German town of Magdeburg, birthplace of a great composer, is awarding the Georg Philipp Telemann Prize 2021 to Elizabeth Wallfisch, a baroque violinist who has largely withdrawn from performance.
Wallfisch, 68, Australian born, is a granddaughter of the British conductor Albert Coates. She is married to the cellist Raphael Wallfisch.
Honoured for her six Telemann CDs, she will receive the award from Mayor Lutz Trümper on September 17 and will give a performance with the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra.
