Marek Koz\u00e1k's virtuosic and masterful playing is characterized by nobility and musicality. He possesses a rich tonal palette and a sure sense of the architectural proportions of a work. Marek comes from Moravia and studied with Ivan Kl\u00e1nsk\u00fd at the renowned Prague Academy of Music. During his studies, he attended masterclasses with Murray Perahia, Garrick Ohlsson, and Eugen Indjic. Today, he himself teaches at the Academy of Music in Prague.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marek Koz\u00e1k was a semifinalist at the 17th International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw in 2015 and a finalist at the Busoni Competition in 2019. In 2021, he was a prize winner at the G\u00e9za Anda Competition, and in 2025, he won second prize at the Leipzig Bach Competition.

In his first appearance with the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra in 2020, Marek Koz\u00e1k caused a sensation with the little-known Piano Concerto in D minor by V\u00edt\u011bzslava Kapr\u00e1lov\u00e1. Since then, he has performed two further neglected Czech piano concertos by Karel Kova\u0159ovic and Pavel Bo\u0159kovec, which have been released on CD by Supraphon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On an extensive tour of the Czech Republic and Poland with the Moravian Philharmonic under Zsolt Hamar in Baden-Baden and Zurich, Marek Koz\u00e1k dedicated himself to the rarely heard Piano Concerto by Anton\u00edn Dvo\u0159\u00e1k. In other countries, he has also performed piano concertos by Grieg, Tchaikovsky, and Beethoven. In solo recitals, he focuses on the works of Johann Sebastian Bach\u2014especially the two volumes of the "Well-Tempered Clavier"\u2014and the solo works of Sergei Rachmaninoff, a selection of which was recently released on a highly acclaimed CD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
