He started playing the cello at the age of five. Since early childhood he has been successfully participating in domestic and international cello competitions. In 2022 he won the 1st prize for the best Czech participant and the Gustav Mahler Philharmonic Jihlava prize at the international Gustav Mahler Prize competition. In the same year, he succeeded in the audition of the “Jeunesses Musicales” performance competition and will thus appear in the next concert season as a soloist with Haydn’s Cello Concerto No. 2 with the Janáček Philharmonic Ostrava.

In addition to solo playing, he is also intensively engaged in chamber music. In 2021 he was a double laureate of the chamber category of the International Radio Competition for Young Musicians Concertino Praga, the final round of which took place as part of the Dvořák Prague Festival, when he won 3rd prize in the piano trio with Natalia Toperczerová and Pavel Praženica and 1st prize, the audience prize and the Emcy prize in the duo with Kristián Mráček. Thanks to this success, the duo was given the opportunity to record a profile CD for the Czech Radio.
