Miroslav Sekera

Miroslav Sekera has long been considered one of the best Czech pianists. His playing "fascinates with excellent technical preparation, focused performance, humble speech without unnecessary stage affects and understanding of the works he presents", writes Harmonie magazine.

He performed as a soloist and chamber player on many prestigious stages, such as the Vienna Konzerthaus and Musikverein, The Kennedy Center in Washington, Tokyo's Opera City Concert Hall or the home Rudolfinum.

He regularly collaborates with leading Czech orchestras and festivals. In 2019, he toured Japan with the legendary cellist Tsuyoshi Tsutsumi and in the same year performed as a soloist at an international festival in Karuizawa, Japan, where he performed 2. piano concerto by J. Brahms.

The most recent discography includes the album Martinů with Josef Špaček and the Czech Radio Symphony Orchestra with conductor Petr Popelka, a solo album with works by F. Liszt and B. Smetana and an album of sonatas by W. A. ​​Mozart, E. Ysäy, P. I. Tchaikovsky, S. Prokofiev and F. Kreisler for violin and piano with Olga Šroubková.

His extraordinary talent became apparent at the age of three, when he started playing piano and violin simultaneously. Thanks to the art of playing both instruments, he was chosen to play the role of little Mozart in the Oscar-winning film Amadeus directed by Miloš Forman. He completed his piano studies at the Faculty of Music of the Academy of Performing Arts under docent Miroslav Langer.
