Renata Ardaševová, née Lichnovská, has made a number of CD, radio and TV recordings, cooperates with leading Czech and foreign musicians, participates in prestigious projects, e.g. Concentus Moraviae and Czech Dreams (Èeské sny). Reviews emphasize her inner energy and the emotive form of her music, the quality of the sound and her sense for form and building-up of interpreted compositions.

After graduating from the Conservatoire in Ostrava, where she studied piano with Professor Marta Toaderová and composition with Professor Milan Báchorka, she continued at the Janáèek Academy of Music and Performing Arts with Professor Marta Toaderová and Professor Inessa Janíèková. She gained rich experience at a number of international courses led by well-known teachers (Professor Rudolf Kehrer, Professor Vera Gornostaeva and Professor Lev Naumov). At the same time she started her concert career both as a solo and a chamber music pianist. She also presented her own compositions and improvisations and between 1984 and 1994 she was awarded prizes in both national and international competitions.

When she finished her studies she became a sought-after solo and chamber music performer giving concerts in Germany, Austria, Great Britain, Switzerland, Turkey, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Lithuania and other countries. The cooperation with her husband Igor Ardašev is also very successful. They formed a duo called Duo Ardašev and began a successful concert career playing compositions for four hands or on two pianos. They were offered the chance to record the complete works for four hands by Antonín Dvoøák by Supraphon. Apart from Dvoøák´s Slavic Dances, the Legends and From Šumava cycle, they also recorded My Country by Bedøich Smetana arranged for four hands for the same company.Renata Ardaševová has also made a number of radio and CD recordings with leading Czech musicians, e.g. violinist Ivana Tomášková. Highlights of her recent work include a recital for four hands for Spolek pøátel Pražského jara (The Friends of the Prague Spring Club), a c oncerto for two pianos and orchestra by Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy in the Rudolfinum Concert Hall in Prague

Martina Matušínská studied flute at Ostrava Conservatoire (1983-1987) and at the Janáèek Academy of Music and Performing Arts (1987-1992). In 1991, she became a solo flutist of the Brno Philharmonic Orchestra, a position she still holds. Since 2004, she has also collaborated with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra in Prague, with which she has regularly appeared at concerts abroad (worth mentioning, in particular, are their tours with the well-known tenor Andrea Bocelli).In addition, Martina devotes herself to solo playing and chamber music, making regular appearances at numerous international music festivals, recording for the radio (recently, she has recorded Joaquin Rodrigo's Concierto Pastoral as well as a number of flute sonatas) and taking part in a large number of other projects.

Working with the Brno Philharmonic, Martina has given performances not only in Europe, but also in Japan, Uruguay, Argentina, South Korea, and South America. As soloist, she has performed and has in her repertoire many Baroque pieces (e.g. by Bach, Handel, Telemann, and Vivaldi), as well as pieces by both a number of classical masters (such as Mozart's two concertos and

thcompositions by Quantz, Vaòhal and Devienne) and a number of 20 century composers (Ibert, Debussy, Poulenc, Fauré, Messiaen, Martinù, Feld, Petrassi, and Rodrigo). She performed the latter composer's Concierto Pastoral in Brno in April 2005 (a premiere performance of this piece in Brno) and – with the Brno Philharmonic and its chief conductor Petr Altrichter – she recorded it for Czech Radio. As soloist, Martina has played under the baton of Jiøí Stárek, Aldo Ceccato, Christian Simonis, Caspar Richter, Jan Chalupecký, Jan Štych, Jakub Hrùša, František Preisler, and Miloš Machek. Regarding chamber music, she cooperates with the Czech Chamber Soloists, the Bohuslav Martinù Chamber Orchestra and the Czech Chamber Orchestra. She has also appeared (as a soloist) at one of the concerts of the Wiener Concert-Verein. Last but not least, Martina frequently performs (and records for Czech Radio) with the pianist Renata Ardašev.
