  • Jiří Gemrot is a pragmatically thinking composer. Besides composing in the style of Prokofiev, Stravinsky, and Britten, he is known for his work in musical direction in radio and television.
  • Sylvie Bodorová is a leading figure in Czech music composition. Her works blend modern techniques with ethnic and archaic elements.
  • Bedřich Smetana’s Vltava continues to fascinate, and Jan Trneček’s paraphrase is one example of this.

  • Josef Vejvoda, a drummer, composer, arranger, and conductor, is the son of the creator of the legendary polka Škoda lásky. He adeptly blends various genres.
  • Martin Hybler, a sought-after composer, improviser, and chamber pianist, also uses the crossover approach in his music.
