The historical city centre of his hometown is so well-preserved that the multi-award winning Amadeus could have been filmed there, except that it was shot in Kroměříž and Prague. As if scripted, Kroměříž Conservatory and Academy of Performing Arts in Prague are precisely Pelka’s alma maters. Pelka studied at the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague under the tutelage of Professor Jaroslav Motlík, Principal Viola of Czech Philharmonic, the country’s flagship orchestra with the magnificent Rudolfinum as its home turf. Whilst a student, he was a member of Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra in Vienna, established in 1986 by maestro Claudio Abbado. Having won a number of prestigious prizes, including 1st in the Czech Conservatory Competition, 3rd in the International Beethoven Viola Competition and 1st in the Concerto BohemiaChamberMusicCompetition, hewould laterjoinPraguePhilharmonia, founded in 1993 by maestro Jiří Bělohlávek, wherewith he participated in the recording of mezzo-soprano Magdalena Kozená’s critically acclaimed album Le Belle Immagini under the Deutsche Grammophon label. “Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra is a well-run orchestra with well-planned concert seasons, first-class facilities, esprit de corps and an enterprising spirit.” Jiří Pelka
