Miroslav Sekera will play at the Chopin House

Miroslav Sekera has long been considered one of the best Czech pianists. His extraordinary talent was already evident at the age of three, when he began to play piano and violin simultaneously. Thanks to his skill on both instruments, he was chosen to play the role of Little Mozart in the Oscar-winning film Amadeus by director Miloš Forman.

He completed his piano studies at the Music Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts with Associate Professor Miroslav Langer. He has performed as a soloist and chamber musician at many prestigious venues such as the Vienna Konzerthaus and Musikverein, The Kennedy Center in Washington, Tokyo's Opera City Concert Hall and his home Rudolfinum. He regularly collaborates with leading Czech orchestras and festivals. In 2019, he toured Japan with legendary cellist Tsuyoshi Tsutsumi, and in the same year he performed as soloist at the Karuizawa International Festival in Japan, where he performed Brahms' Piano Concerto No. 2. His recent discography includes a Martinů album with Josef Špáček and the Czech Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by 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.
