Sharon Kam has been described by 'The Gramophone' magazine as “a most imaginative and individual artist”. In addition to the classical clarinet repertoire she plays contemporary music and is sought after as a performer for the premiere of new works, many of them written for her.
A native of Israel, she made her debut aged 16 with the Israel Philharmonic under Zubin Mehta, and studied later at the Juilliard School Of Music. She is a winner of the ARD International Competition in Munich and several others, and currently lives in Germany. To mark the 250th anniversary of the birth of Mozart, she performed a concert at the Estates Theatre in Prague broadcast live in 33 countries.
Conductor Vojtěch Spurný is a master of many genres and styles. He studied flute and piano at the Prague Conservatoire, opera production, conducting and harpsichord at the AMU Prague Academy of Music, and interpretation of ancient music and harpsichord at the Hogeschool de Kunsten, Utrecht. Known as an opera conductor, he works regularly with several leading Czech orchestras, and is also intensively involved in concerts featuring period keyboard instruments.
