Jan Kučera
composer (born 1977)
Jan Kučera studied at the Prague Conservatoire conducting with Miriam Němcová, Miroslav Košler and Vladimír Válek. It was just Vladimír Válek who then headed his conducting course at the Academy of Music (graduated 2006). Kučera studied composition with Bohuslav Řehoř.
In his composition endeavours to date he has tackled several genres – the symphony, chamber music, cantatas and songs; he also writes incidental music for productions at Prague and regional theatres (Vinohrady Theatre, Rokoko, Český Těšín Theatre, among others).
He also enjoys writing arrangements; for the Czech Philharmonic’s New Year’s Eve concert in 2003 he arranged songs by Jaroslav Ježek and songs from Czech films. He is also involved in jazz, working closely with today’s soloists, members of the string ensemble Epoque Quartet.
