The piano virtuoso Marek Kozák has achieved a series of impressive results in a wide range of prestigous competitions (Councours Géza Anda Zürich, The Fryderyk Chopin International Piano Competition in Warsaw, Prague Spring International Music Competition, European Piano Competition in Bremen, Busoni competition in Bolzano). Critics consistently praise his flawless technique, sense of proportion and gradation, wide range of expression, deep musicality and faithfulness to musical notation. Since graduating from the piano class of Prof. Ivan Klánský at the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague, Marek Kozák has certainly made a splash on the Czech music scene. In the 2022–23 season, next to giving numerous recitals at the Rudolfinum in Prague, Switzerland and Germany, he performed the piano concertos by Karel Kovařovic, Robert Schumann, and Richard Strauss's Burlesque among others. He also performed The Well-Tempered Clavier I. at the IMF Smetanova Litomyšl in June 2023. Marek Kozák was already showing extraordinary talent when attending the Elementary Art School in Brušperk. He soon demonstrated further skills as an organist and composer. He studied two instruments at the Janáček Conservatory in Ostrava – the piano with Monika Tugendliebová and the organ with Martina Zelová. He attended numerous masterclasses led by world-famous virtuosos, such as Eugen Indjic, Murray Parahia and Garrick Ohlsson. In addition to concert activities, Marek teaches at the Prague Music High School.
