I
was born in Czech Republic and was very fortunate to grow up in an extremely
musical household. It was part of our family tradition to organize concerts
and to present them to a broad circle of friends and acquaintances. In
my profession as music agent, I am able to combine both fields of my interest
and training – music and economy.
I established Art Productions in 1990 in order to bring classical music
not only to today´s connoisseurs, but also to future aficionados
of classical music – children and young people.
On the basis of my many years of experience, including 10 years of cooperation
with the Vienna Philharmonic and many years with the Bavarian State Orchestra,
I specialize in Orchestra tours. Art Productions tours provide not only
organisation, but also take the needs of each individual artist into account
and try to help create the special atmosphere which makes each concert
a memorable event.
My cooperation with the Bavarian State Orchestra started in 1995, and
I have worked with Peter Schneider and the guest conductors Carlos Kleiber
and Sir George Solti. For the past several years,
I have worked on several projects with the General Musical Director, Zubin
Mehta.
Here a selection of previous projects:
a concert tour with the Orchestra Filarmonica della Scala under Ricard
Muti to Hong Kong and Korea / organisation of a guest performance of the
Deutsches Symphonie Orchester Berlin under Kent Nagano / organisation
of various projects for the Prague State Opera / organisation of various
projects for the Chorgemeinschaft Neubeuern and the KlangVerwaltung Orchestra
under Enoch zu Guttenberg / organisation of Leonard Bernstein´s
last guest performance in Prague.
My activity as an agent involves not only the organisation of professional engagements, but also the care, support and guidance of the individual artists. The encouragement of young artists is also a particular priority.
Each individual artist is assisted in developing his or her own distinctive and unique talents and is critically accompanied throughout his or her long-term development.
It was always important for me to introduce young people to music and to art and to awaken their enthusiasm for culture.
In the musical world, which primarily pays homage to a great past, it´s important to also focus on the future of music and on its living value. Music is spiritual nourishment, as necessary for the development of human beings as air and water.
