The Czech pianist Zbyn\u011bk Maru\u0161ka belongs to a generation of musicians nurtured within the disciplined and admirably structured musical education traditionally offered by his homeland. His studies at the Prague Music Academy under the guidance of Franti\u0161ek Rauch, and at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow with Yevgeny Mogilevsky and Elena Richter \u2013 students of the legendary Heinrich Neuhaus \u2013 provided him with the credentials to develop a significant concert career as a soloist, either through solo recitals throughout Europe or by collaborating with orchestras such as the Prague Symphony Orchestra and the Plzenska Filharmonie, and joining forces with notable chamber music ensembles like the Mozart Quintet of Prague and Harmonia Pragensis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a pianist, Zbyn\u011bk has transitioned from the explosive, enthusiastic world of the virtuosity of a \u201cyoung talent\u201d to that of the introspection of a mature musician, a representative of European musical thought, which he passes on by teaching young musicians. For almost two decades, he has taught at international master-classes in the Czech Republic, and since 2000, he has been a permanent member of the Jury for the annual piano competition Prague Junior Note. Zbyn\u011bk Maru\u0161ka has served as a professor at the conservatories of Prague and Pardubice, at the Music Department of the University of Nicosia from 2005 to 2009, and at the Limassol Music Lyceum. He has collaborated with the Cyprus Centre for Composers and has premiered their works both in Cyprus and abroad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His students have distinguished themselves in international piano competitions, such as Steinway Hamburg, Concertino Praga, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Chopin Mari\u00e1nsk\u00e9 L\u00e1zn\u011b, and many have gone on to hold positions in universities in the USA, Czech Republic, Germany, and England after their successful studies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
