Robert Fischmann

Robert Fischmann is a Czech flutist and multi-instrumentalist.

He graduated from the Prague Conservatory in the class of prof. F. Malotína. While studying English and general linguistics at the Faculty of Arts at the Charles University, he began to devote himself to jazz improvisation. He gained experience in such diverse bands as Taliesyn, Baroque Jazz Quintet, Irish Dew, C&K Vocal and Linha Singers. He also performed regularly with pop artists such as Lenka Filipová or Marie Rottrová. Within the framework of jazz music, he has collaborated with e.g. with the Concept Art Orchestra, the Jazz Dock Orchestra, the Gustav Brom Orchestra, with Brian Charette or Lionel Loueke.

This genre-crossing is his own right now: as a singer he figures in the world-music group Bran, as the flutist is a member of the Czech-Polish sextet of Štěpánka Balcarová and Małgorzata Hutek, as a percussionist he co-leads the nine-member brass band TooT Ensemble and last but not least as multi-instrumentalist and singer works in the band Nerez & Lucia. The most recent project is a trio with David Dorůžka and Martin Novák, which covers, among other things, Jewish liturgical music. The debut CD is to be released by Animal Music in autumn 2023.
