Arts Contemporary musician Petr Kotik shares experiences at Ostrava Days
Back in 1999, one of the country's most renowned contemporary music composers and conductors, Petr Kotik, founded the Ostrava Center for New Music. It worked closely with the Janacek Philharmonic Orchestra to present works by leading musicians such as John Cage, Earle Brown, and Karlheinz Stockhausen, to an audience that had yet to warm up to 'new music'. On Monday, 39 music students from 20 countries will flock to the North Moravian city of Ostrava for the Ostrava Days 2005.
