Magdalena de Vries

Magdalena de Vries, South Africa's foremost classical marimbist, has won all the major South African music prizes and international scholarships. After obtaining performer's licentiate diplomas (with distinction) from both the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music and the University of South Africa, two of the most prestigious South African overseas music scholarships were awarded to her and enabled her to pursue postgraduate studies in percussion as the first foreign student at the Tokyo College of Music under Professor Atsushi Sugahara.
