Ondrej Adamek

Biography

Ondrej Adamek
© Photo : Luc Hossepied

Ondrej Adámek was born in 1979 in Prague. He has received commissions for orchestral, choir, ensemble, and vocal works, as well as music for instruments and electronics from prestigious ensembles and festivals of contemporary music in Europe (Ensemble Intercontemporain, Klangforum Wien, Lucerne Festival Academy Orchestra, Diotima string quartet, Ensemble Orchestral Contemporain, Agora festival, Donaueschingen festival, Witten festival, Warsaw Automn, Les Musiques festival – Marseille...).

Ondrej Adámek seeks out special playing techniques for classical instruments, creates new original instruments, and develops new systems combining video and electroacoustic sound with instrumental ensembles. Adámek, with his vast knowledge of new possibilities for classical instruments, obtains a very specific sound colour that, together with a powerful rhythmic and solid formal architecture, creates very personal music with strong dramatic aspect.

Ondrej Adámek is graduated from the composition department of the Academy of Music in Prague in 2004 and from the Conservatoire National Supérieur in Paris in 2007. His music was awarded the Synthèse Prize (Bourges 2002), Metamorphoses (Brussels, 2002, 2004), First Prize of Hungarian Radio (2004), The Brandenburg Biennale Prize (2006), The Prix Hervé Dugardin - SACEM (2009), The Grand Prix Tansman (Lodz, 2010), the Prix Georges Enesco 2011, and others.
