Competition success

In July 2024, Ondřej took part in the 8th edition of the Ionel Perlea International Conducting Competition. Held in Perlea’s hometown of Slobozia, Romania, the competition covered both symphonic and operatic repertoire, including works by Mozart, Beethoven, and Mendelssohn.

From an original pool of some 80 candidates, Ondřej proceeds through pre-selection and three rounds to the final, where he wins third prize and a special prize. The televised final took place on 28th July 2024, where Ondřej performed Mendelssohn’s Hebrides overture and an excerpt from Mozart’s Così fan tutte.

Among the prizes, Ondřej received an invitation to conduct the Moldovan National Philharmonic in the 2024/2025 season.
