Performer Information

Joseph Wagener

Cellist

Quatuor Municipal de Liège

Joseph Wagener was the cellist for the Quatuor Municipal de Liège, a prominent Belgian string quartet that succeeded the earlier Quatuor de Liège. This post-war version of the quartet, featuring members such as Emmanuel Koch (second violin) and Paul Lambert (viola), focused on performing both classical and contemporary works, often premiering compositions by modern composers. Wagener contributed to their notable recordings, including pieces like André-Modeste Grétry’s Quatuors.
