String quartet of the Suk Chamber Orchestra
Martin Kos: violin; Dana Truplová: violin
Karel Untermuller: viola; David Havelík: cello

Josef Vejvoda creates compositions in both chamber
and solo form, and lets the beauty of stringed instruments resound in them both in terms of historical retrospection and contemporary feeling. Perhaps out of respect for the members of Smetana’s former quartet, jazzman Stéphane Grappelli, or Josef Suk, Jitka Hosprová, Pavel Šporcl, who brilliantly realized his violin and viola compositions. And there will certainly be other, younger instrumentalists who will spread his work for stringed instruments all over the world.
