The collaboration of Jitka Hosprová and brilliant Italian violinist Maurizio Sciarretta brings to life the legendary duo of two Italian giants, violin virtuoso Salvatore Accardo and virtuosic violist Luigi Alberto Bianchi, who taught both musicians the secrets of top-quality interpretive arts.
On various European music festivals, Jitka and Maurizio have jointly performed recitals and also played accompanied by significant Italian orchestras. In spring 2016 in Imola, they performed, among other pieces, the Sinfonia Concertante by W. A. Mozart under the conducting of Vladimir Ashkenazy.
The duo offers both well-known masterpieces for violin and viola, such as the compositions by Alessandro Rolla, Johan Halvorsen and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and premiere performances of pieces for violin and viola from the modern world repertoire.

Composers who found inspiration in Mozart’s courage to explore this instrumental combination have exposed the infinite variety of timbres and original technical possibilities of the instruments.

The Trio Bohemia Luxembourg came into being as a combination of three strong personalities – two from the Czech Republic and a flutist from Luxembourg. Although their bond is their spontaneous love of chamber music, the ensemble draws also on the valuable historical ties between the two countries which, in the 14th century, were governed by the same highly successful dynasty. The trio performs not only on their “Home ground” in the Czech Republic and in Luxembourg, but also in other countries. Its members have a number of recordings to their credit. The trio has become a source of inspiration to living composers who have been writing works for this combination of instruments.
