astate grant for the study of
chamber music at the
Academy of Music. A short
while later they were
honoured to bear the name

composer. Since 1963, all:

members of the trio have
been working as freelance
artists specializing in
chamber music. They have
worked with Czech radio
and television and their
records come out on the

In 1970, a change in the:

Trio’s composition took
place with a change of
violinist. The Trio is now
composed of: Ales Silek -
piano, Stanislav Srp - violin
(Pietro Guarneri 1712) and
Vaclav Jirovec - cello
(Andrea Guarneri 1689). _
