This year’s winner of the Jiří Bělohlávek Prize is clarinetist Anna Paulová. The prize is awarded to young Czech artists under the age of thirty who have achieved exceptional success in their field and who are upholding the tradition of Czech music at home and abroad.
“I appreciate the Jiří Bělohlávek Prize immensely and thank you very much for it. I am very happy and at the same time I feel a great responsibility to be the recipient of this award. This year it is exactly ten years since I had the honour of performing with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Jiří Bělohlávek at the Open Air Concert of the Czech Philharmonic on Hradčany Square. It was one of my most beautiful musical experiences.”
