Before his 25th birthday, conductor Jakub Hrůša had already served as associate conductor of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, after which he took on three conducting posts simultaneously, one as the associate conductor of the highly respected Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France. To assert Hrůša was then one of the most promising Czech conductors of his generation would be an understatement, as he has gone on to further prestigious conducting posts, both in the concert and operatic worlds, and he has appeared on several acclaimed recordings. In 2021, Hrůša led the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra on a recording of Mahler's Fourth Symphony.
