The Pole was among the 49 young musicians who auditioned for the prestigious loan at the annual competition held in Lübeck.
Thirty four of them were loaned valuable violins, violas and cellos by Antonio Stradivari, Guadagnini, Grancino and Vuillaume.
Polish violinist Krzysztof Węgrzyn, chair of the jury, told the media: “I was very impressed by the high standard of the young people, which was evident across all age groups. We did our best to find suitable instruments for all the fantastic musicians. The youngest participant was twelve years old, and truly inspired us.”
Born in 2003, Wrona is currently a student at the Franz Liszt University of Music in Weimar, Germany. He earlier completed his bachelor’s degree at the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw. His successes include third prize at the 12th Witold Lutosławski International Cello Competition in Warsaw in 2024.
He has performed in venues such as the Warsaw Philharmonic, the National Forum of Music in Wrocław, Salle Cortot in Paris, and the Copernicus Center in Chicago.
