Jan Mráček
As the concertmaster of the Czech Philharmonic, Jan Mráček is a renowned soloist and chamber musician who has been recognized as one of the most prominent talents of his generation since childhood. He has received numerous awards from domestic and international competitions during his studies with Magdaléna Micková and later Jiří Fišer. He regularly attended courses by Václav Hudeček.
Lukáš Klánský is one of the leading Czech pianists sought after as both a soloist and chamber musician. As a member of the Lobkowicz Trio, along with his colleagues Jan Mráček and Ivan Vokáč, he won the first prize and the audience prize at the Johannes Brahms Competition in Pörtschach in 2014. Since then, this ensemble has performed at the most significant festivals in the Czech Republic, such as Prague Spring, Dvořák's Prague festival, Janáček's May, St. Wenceslas Music Festival, and Svátky hudby V. Hudečka, as well as on international stages.
