This Obituary crossed the wires. I am not familiar with this artist. Any information? The world-renowned violinist and conductor, Tibor Varga, has died at his home in the Swiss Alpine village of Grimisuat at the age of 82. Varga was born in Hungary and made his debut with Mendelsohn's E minor concerto when he was 10. He moved to the canton of Valais in 1956 and started a summer school in 1963, organising the Tibor Varga Festival in Sion the following year. An annual violin competition is held in Sion in his honour. Varga's repertoire covered baroque, romanitc and classical works, but he was best known for his performances of modern composers like Stravinsky, Schoenberg and Berg. from swissinfo.
