Additional Info:

I was born in 1979 in Kromeriz, where I studied from 1994 to 2000 playing the piano at the Conservatory of P. J. Vejvanovsky with Mgr. Helena Zahradnickova. Next I went on studying in years 2000 - 2005 at JAMU in Brno with Prof. Jiri Skovajsa. On 2nd November 2004 I performed together with the Moravian Philharmonic Olomouc The Piano Concerto G minor Op. 33 by Antonín Dvorak.

I participated in many competitions as a soloist (Smetana Competition in 1996 and 2001), Piano Bratislava - 1999 (advance to finals), Competition of conservatories - 1999 (3rd prize), Competition for the anniversary of Schubert and Brahms in Brno – 1997 (1st prize and prizes for the best performance of compositions by Brahms and O.

In 2002 and 2003 I attended the International Master Classes in Luxembourg, where I studied under Romanian pianist Dana Protopopescu. In 2004 and 2008, I participated in The Tel-Hai International Piano Master Classes in Israel, where I had the opportunity to study in the classes of Victor Derevianko, Sontraud Speidel, Matti Raekallio and Gabriel Kwok. At the same time I received there 2nd prize, and, in 2008 1st prize in the competition for the best interpretation of a contemporary Israeli composition. In 2007 I was invited to the prestigious monthly study in the Brahms House in Baden-Baden, where I was again invited in the years 2009 and 2011.

Every year I give solo recitals and chamber music recitals. In the years 2000 - 2007 I worked as an accompanist of flute, violin and cello in the International Master Classes in Brno. Since 2008 I have been also a piano accompanist of Holešov children's choir - The Moravian Children.

For nearly 20 years I have devoted myself to chamber music and piano accompanying and I pay attention to the problems of the branch a great deal, as well as piano accompanying about which I have written a non-published thesis „Specifications of a piano accompanist work“, as well as a textbook „History and literature of piano“.
I have been a teacher since 1996 and now I teach at the Conservatory of P. J. Vejvanovský the piano playing, history and literature of piano, obligatory piano playing and I play as an accompanist. I work also as a guest pianist with the Bohuslav Martinu Philharmonic in Zlín. I am an accompanist in the International Violin Master Classes of Bohuslav Matoušek in Zlatá Koruna.
