New video: Teml Cello Concerto
A recording of a live concert from the Young Euro Classic Festival is now available on YouTube. Under the baton of conductor Alena Hron, accompanied by the Ševčík Academy Orchestra, Tomáš premiered a new version of Jiří Teml's cello concerto. "The concerto was written in 1979 for Martin Škampa and the Prague Student Orchestra, conducted by Vlasta Škampová. It was somewhat intentional to bring the work back into the hands of a student orchestra and a female conductor, this time Alena Hron, with whom it was a pleasure to collaborate. I am very grateful to everyone for the experience!"
