Slavic Trio: (de)breathing afternoon

The wind trio of young musicians will bring the rhythmic Martinů and the melodic Tomasi to the Monastery Garden on Sunday afternoon.

The chamber ensemble Slavic Trio was founded in 2018 by three successful young Czech musicians. Barbora Trnčíková, an oboist and member of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, is a sought-after orchestral and chamber musician. The clarinettist Anna Sysová is a woman of many professions, but her first priority remains music. This is also proven by the fact that she was a winner of the 2022 Prague Spring International Music Competition. Petr Sedlák is one of the most outstanding bassoon talents of his generation. He is a member of two leading Czech orchestras – the Prague Philharmonia and the Prague Symphony Orchestra. In 2018, the trio was awarded first prize at the International Chamber Ensemble Competition in Chieri, Italy. On a Sunday afternoon in the gardens of Český Krumlov, they will play pieces for listening. The programme includes the rhythmic Martinů and the melodic Tomasi.

Slavic Trio

Slavic Trio is a Czech chamber ensemble consisting of three prominent musicians of the young generation – oboist Barbora Trnčíková, clarinetist Anna Sysová and bassoonist Petr Sedlák. When they met in 2018 as scholarship holders of the Academy of Chamber Music, continuing to work together proved to be a natural path. Early on, they became laureates of the International Competition in Chieri, Italy (2018) and the Bohuslav Martinů Foundation Competition in Prague (2019). Members of the ensemble are graduates of the prestigious music schools of the Royal College of Music in London, the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique in Lyon and the Haute École de Musique in Lausanne. The trio has been included on the Young Artists List of the Czech Music Fund Foundation and regularly performs at home and abroad. In addition to performing world repertoire, the trio also focuses on reviving forgotten works by 20th century Czech composers. In addition to their chamber activities, the individual members are active in leading Prague orchestras.
