The ArtLink – Société Générale Young Talents’ Cycle

The “ArtLink – Société Générale Young Talents’ Cycle” and the “ArtLink – Société Générale The Most Promising Young Artist Award”, are an excellent example of an inspiring partnership between art and business sectors on a high-quality art project that serves as a role model of the concept that relies on the sustained investment into and the unrelenting support of talented individuals.

ArtLink, together with their exclusive sponsor Société Générale, support the selected artist in their future professional engagements and help them build their professional career through advanced learning, public promotions, continued media coverage, public performances and other selected professional engagements.

The “ArtLink – Société Générale Young Talents’ Cycle” is a program through which young talents, up to the age of 15, are given a unique opportunity through auditions to earn active participation at creative workshops led by Serbia’s renowned musicians. The distinction of this particular program is that it provides a possibility for the young talents to jointly form new ensembles as well as to perform in ensembles together with their mentors and successful foreign artists. The new ensembles that arise from this project are presented at concerts within the ArtLink – Société Générale Young Talents’ Cycle.

During the three years of the project, more than 100 young talents took part in workshops and concerts within the Cycle, while the best young soloists comprised the chamber ensemble ArtLink Virtuosi which performs with artists and mentors from Serbia and abroad.

This concert is a part of the Festival’s “Focus Visegrad” segment and the Balkan-Visegrad Cultural Bridge project supported by the International Visegrad Fund.

Pavel Doležal, violin, concertmaster

The art director of Camerata Janáček, the violist Pavel Doležal, belongs to the middle generation of Czech music interprets. His hometown is Ostrava. Already during his studies (Janáček Conservatory in Ostrava, Academy of Performing Arts in Prague) he successfully participated at a number of national and international interpretative competitions (he is a two-time winner of international violin competition Beethoven’s Hradec.)

Since 1989 he has been a member of Janáček Philharmonic Orchestra Ostrava, where he holds the function of concertmaster. Pavel Doležal regularly engages in the chamber and occasionally in solo performance. (Most recently he performed in 2008 together with Martin Kasík and Jiří Hanousek in Beethoven’s trio accompanied by Janáček Philharmonic in Ostrava.)

As a concertmaster and chamber performer, he has attended a number of concert tours in Europe and Asia (Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan) North America (USA) and Australia. Since 1998 he has been the head and soloist of Camerata Janáček, for several years he worked as a pedagogue at Janáček Conservatory in Ostrava.
