He very quickly garnered significant success: a solo piano concert at the Rudolfinum (Dvořák Prague 2021), the winner and laureate of the international Pro Bohemia 2022 competition (piano, trombone), a soloist at the Zlatá Pecka festival (piano, trombone) and the winner of the Žestě Brno Junior 2024 international competition (trombone, baritone). He is currently a first-year student at the Prague Conservatory in the trombone class of Professor J. Šimek. His latest successes have included a double victory at the international Pro Bohemia 2026 competition (trombone, baritone), where he also won the absolute winner’s title for young brass players. In May 2026, he won the trombone section of the Brno International Brass Instrument Competition. He has been interested in tractors since he was a child and has currently added motorcycles to that: he is currently repairing his Jawa 50 motorbike.
