No register of the most distinguished young Czech instrumentalist would be complete
without the only 29 years old violist Kristina Fialová. It almost defies belief how much this
ambitious artist has accomplished in her short time. She grew up as a musician at the Brno
Conservatory (Professor Miroslav Kovář) and at the Prague Academy of Performing Arts
(Professor Jan Pěruška), graduating also from the Royal Academy of Music in Copenhagen
(in the class of Tim Frederikson and Lars Anders Tomter) and the Carl Maria von Weber
Hochschule für Musik in Dresden (the class of Professor Vladimír Bukač). She has honed her
mastery with a number of world-famous soloists.
In 2013 Fialová was honored with the First Prize at the Michal Spisak International
Competition in Katowice, Poland, in addition to various laurels from a number of other such
international competitions. While still a student, she already performed at the Tivoli Festival,
foremost in Denmark, accompanied by the Copenhagen Philharmonic; celebrated her debut
at the famous Tonhalle Zurich; and in 2015 appeared at the Prague Spring festival for the
first time, giving a solo recital. Nowadays she collaborates frequently with leading Czech and
international orchestras and conductors, as well as with several outstanding instrumentalists.
Her interpretation was acclaimed by audiences in almost all European countries, as well as
in Russia, Africa, Asia, and the Americas. She gave her master classes in Lima, Copenhagen,
and in China. Her musicianship, applauded in professional reviews, is now captured on eight
CDs published by Supraphon, ArcoDiva, and the Danish label Dacapo. She plays the Italian
viola ‘Carlo Antonio Testore—Contrada 1745’ and has become a Pirastro artist, the only
Czech to have done so.
