About Josef Špaček

Josef Špaček is fast emerging as one of the most accomplished violinists of his generation. His playing is distinguished by technical certainty, virtuosity, distinctive expression and a wide range of sound colours. He began his studies at the Prague Conservatory under Jaroslav Foltýn, subsequently studied at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia and at the Juilliard School in New York.

He has performed with major orchestras all over the world, most recently with the Czech Philharmonic, Orchestre de Paris, Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, Bamberger Symphoniker, Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich, Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra, Japan Philharmonic Orchestra, Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra, hr-Sinfonieorchester and Stavanger Symphony Orchestra.

He is also active in chamber music – with cellist Timothee Gavriilidis-Petrin and pianist George Xiaoyuan Fu he forms the international Zimbalist Trio, which tours the USA and Europe every year. His most recent discography includes an album of works by B. Martinů with Miroslav Sekera and the Czech Radio Symphony Orchestra, he has recorded the album Paths (Cesty) with cellist Tomáš Jamník, and with the Czech Philharmonic and Jiří Bělohlávek he has recorded Dvořák and Janáček Violin Concertos and Suk's Fantasy.

He is a laureate of the world-famous Queen Elisabeth International Violin Competition in Brussels and a winner of the Michael Hill International Violin Competition in New Zealand. For nine seasons he was concertmaster of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra and since 2016 he has been its Artist-in-Residence.
