About

Šporcl Chamber Players is a chamber orchestra of leading Czech musicians assembled around violinist Pavel Šporcl, one of the most prominent figures in Czech classical music. The ensemble was formed as a recording and concert vehicle for Šporcl's Bach-focused projects, making its debut on the album AIR (2025), which features Bach violin concertos, a double concerto for violin and oboe, and the iconic orchestral pieces Air and Badinerie. Šporcl studied at the Prague Conservatory under Václav Snítil and later in the USA with Dorothy DeLay, Itzhak Perlman and Eduard Schmieder; he is a laureate of the ARD Competition in Munich (1992) and Prague Spring (1997), and the only Czech violinist of his generation listed in Henry Roth's book Violin Virtuosos: From Paganini to the 21st Century.
