The new assistant conductor of the Janáček Philharmonic Ostrava is Filip Urban, a native of Ostrava and our chief conductor, who belongs to the youngest generation of Czech conductors.

During the three-round selection process he proved his abilities by conducting first a smaller group of JFO players and then in the final round he worked with the whole orchestra. As a result, he will be working with notable figures including future JFO Principal Conductor Daniel Raiskin, as well as Andrey Boreyko, Domingo Hindoyan and many others. In addition to assisting guest conductors, he will lead selected JFO rehearsals and recording projects.

Congratulations!
