Miroslav Sekera

In 2002 Miroslav Sekera won the Johannes Brahms International Competition in Portschach, Austria. Prague Spring audience members still vividly recall his appearance with the violinist Josef Špaček, when they exchanged instruments for an encore, and Sekera played the violin brilliantly. A critic for the magazine Harmonie wrote the following about him: “Miroslav Sekera enchanted his listeners with his superbly prepared technique, his concentrated performance from start to finish, his modest appearance without unnecessary affectations on stage, but above all, his depth of his feeling and understanding for each work through which he spoke to his audience.”
