Marc Bouchkov was awarded first prize in the Montreal
International Musical Competition, which this year was for
violinists. The 22-year-old Belgian, who studies with Boris
Garlitsky at the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen, received
C$30,000. Second prize went to American Stephen Waarts, 16. Another
16-year-old, Zeyu Victor Li, from China, took third prize.
Bouchkov, who performed the Tchaikovsky Concerto in the Montreal
final, was a prizewinner at the 2012 Queen Elisabeth Competition.
He also won first prize at the Young Concert Artists auditions in
Leipzig in 2010.
