People in SICM

Mgr. Jiří Pazour, president of SICM

Jiří Pazour's artistic activity can be summarized in three areas - compositional, concert and pedagogical. Jiří Pazour's solo concert activity is mainly focused on piano improvisation. „Jiří Pazour's Evenings of Piano Improvisation“ have gained great popularity both at home and abroad for their dynamism, spontaneity and variety. Since 1995 he has been teaching at the Prague Conservatory, where he teaches the course Playing from the Sheet and Piano Improvisation at the piano department. He sees the founding of SICM as an opportunity to support the next generation of artists in a field to which he has long been devoted with love and which he is helping to gradually inscribe in the cultural awareness of the Czech public.
