Jan Dušek

Jan Dušek has had dual careers as a pianist and a composer. He is also a significant educator. Dušek won prizes in both keyboard and composition, including an audience prize at the NuBERG 2011 Competition for his music to the silent film The Child of the Ghetto. Dušek's compositions have been heard in the programs of orchestral and chamber ensembles. He has also continued to perform as a pianist, and in 2015, he made his recording debut in that capacity, backing soprano Irena Troupova-Wilde on the album Viktor Ullmann: Schwer ist's, das schöne zu lassen. He returned in 2023, performing in a chamber group that recorded works by David Post.
