Leoš Janáček

Leoš Janáček The most frequently performed Czech opera composer in the world. Although in terms of age Leoš Janáček (1854–1928) is more part of Antonín Dvořák’s generation, his music is some of the most progressive to be found in the 20th century, placing this composer among musicians two generations his junior. Janáček’s life and work are closely connected with Brno, where he lived from childhood and where his tireless work as a composer and organiser contributed greatly to the development of Brno’s cultural life.
