Petr Wagner studied cello at the Prague Conservatory under the tutelage of Josef Chuchr (1931–2009), a leading Czech cellist, member of the Suk Trio and soloist with the Czech Philharmonic. He later studied musicology and viola da gamba at prestigious institutions in the Czech Republic and abroad, such as Charles University in Prague, the Royal Holloway University of London, the Akademie für alte Musik Dresden, and the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague. In 1998, he founded the international Ensemble Tourbillon, which focuses mainly on 17th- and 18th-century music.
