Vilém Veverka is one of the Czech Republic’s most respected interpreters. A graduate of the Prague Conservatory and Prague’s Academy of Performing Arts, he also attended a number of courses by French oboist Jean-Louis Capezzali. His involvement in the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra was a key spur to his artistic development, as were his subsequent studies under leading German oboist Dominik Wollenweber at Berlin’s Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler.
A two-year stint with the Berlin Philharmonic greatly benefitted his professional development. His journey culminated with triumph in one of the most prestigious oboe competitions, the Sony Music Foundation (Tokyo, 2003).
His repertoire includes pieces in all styles, from Baroque to contemporary.
In September 2015 he brought out his third solo album on Suprahon, of concertos by Bach, Vivaldi and Telemann, which he recorded exclusively with Ensemble 18+.
