Wonderfeel Wings winner Stefan Woudenberg
The Wonderfeel Wings 2026 have been awarded to gambist and clarinetist Stefan Woudenberg. With this prize, Wonderfeel is giving a remarkable young talent an extra boost—or rather, wings.

On Sunday, July 5, Stefan will perform at De Stek in a program centered on the viola da gamba. Together with lutenist Mike Fentross and gambist Alex Baker, he will perform music from the French Baroque repertoire. Marin Marais and Antoine Forqueray were compared to an angel and a devil because of their playing and composing styles. In this concert, these extremes will be heard side by side, with Louis Couperin serving as the mediator who brings the whole performance into balance. A program in which the viola da gamba comes to life in all its colors.
