WILLIAM HAGEN, violin (Marathon)

A native of Salt Lake City, Utah, William Hagen began playing the violin at the age of four. In 2015, William won 3rd prize at the Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels. Hagen has performed as a soloist, recitalist and chamber musician across the United States, Europe and Asia. In 2021, William made his debuts with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at the Ravinia Festival and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe at the Rheingau Music Festival, and appears at the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival.

The Hagen’s accompanist  is an artist to watch himself. Praised as “a moving young poet” and “a great romantic” (by Christophe Huss – Le Devoir), Spanish/Dutch pianist Albert Cano Smit enjoys a growing international career on the orchestral, recital, and chamber music stages.
