Petr Nouzovský
Cello
Cellist Petr Nouzovský hails from Prague, Czech Republic. His repertoire ranges from the classic violoncello compositions of Bach, Beethoven, Schumann, Dvorak, and Debussy through the 20th century works of Shostakovich and Messiaen to contemporary works by living composers. His awards include first prize in the "Dresdner Europa Stipendiums - des Europäischen Förderpreises für Musik 2007," the Worldtour Laureate of the International Holland Music Sessions, two recent invitations to Los Angeles for the Gregor Piatigorsky Seminar, and in 2009 he is a finalist in the Borletti-Buitoni Trust. This sample of honors falls but briefly after his studies at the Dresden Hochschule, which he completed in 2007.
Petr has performed solo recitals in Amsterdam at the Concertgebouw, in the Netherlands at the Diligentia Theater in the Hague, in Prague at the Rudolfinum, as well as Bratislava, Moscow, and St Petersburg. Since 2002 Petr has toured Japan annually in recital. Festival performances include the Prague Youth Festivals in 2003, 2004, and 2006; the 2003 Chamber Music festival in Bolzano, Italy; the 2004 International Music Student Festival in Kyoto, Japan; and the Prague Spring Festivals in 2005, 2007, and 2009. Though he has performed with several European orchestras and the Stamic Quartet, Nouzovsky is concentrating on solo recitals and concerti. His cello is the "Jean Baptiste Vuillaume 1835."
