The now legendary Prof. Zdena Janžurová recognized his talent and was the first to take charge of his musical education. By the age of 12, he had mastered both the piano and the violin equally well, so he completed the basic music education cycle with both instruments. This already extraordinary progression earned him the child role of the child prodigy Amadeus in Forman’s film of the same name, where in a famous scene as the young Mozart he performs with both instruments before the Pope in Rome.

He graduated from the Prague Conservatory in the class of Prof. Eva Boguniová. At the same time he continued his education in the class of Prof. Martin Ballý, with whom he also attended summer piano courses in Písek. He completed his formal musical education in 1999 at the Academy of Performing Arts in the class of Prof. Miroslav Langer.

As a soloist he won the 1st prize at the F. Chopin Competition in Mariánské Lázně, 1st prize at the HAMU Competition (with an associated scholarship from Yamaha) and 1st prize at the International J. Brahms Competition in Portschach, Austria.

With the support of the Czech Music Fund Foundation, he made a solo record for Multisonic. This project has produced critically acclaimed recordings of highlights by J. Brahms, D. Scarlatti and M. Moszkowski. Following these successes, Sekera has visited prestigious venues as a soloist and chamber musician, notably in Vienna (Wien Konzerthaus, Musikverein), Washington (The Kennedy Center) and many other cities around the world.

He was commissioned by contemporary American composer Joseph Summer to produce and record the premiere recordings of his compositions for Albany Records and Navona Records.

He performs as a chamber partner with violinist Josef Špáček, mezzo-soprano Dagmar Pecková, and former Berlin Philharmonic horn section leader Radek Baborák, currently the most highly regarded horn player of his generation in the world.

Miroslav Sekera has been a guest soloist in several projects of the FOK Symphony Orchestra, and he regularly cooperates with the Czech Radio. In the recent past he has introduced himself to the Prague audience primarily as a phenomenal interpreter of Chopin and Liszt’s piano music. In two recitals at the Prague Rudolfinum and the concert hall at St. Lawrence Church, he performed, among other things, 24 Chopin preludes and Liszt’s virtuoso paraphrases of Italian operas. This interpretation caused a real stir on the Prague music scene and became the sensation of the season.

Since 2022 he has also been a piano teacher at the Interpretation Courses in Litomyšl and, of course, a regular piano partner at evening concerts.
