Tomáš Kačo
The journey of Tomáš Kač, a pianist with talent and diligence, but also a composer and arranger, is a story of fulfilled life dreams. His solo recitals are mainly based on improvisation, with which he develops his style based on the fusion of classical, jazz and traditional Roma music. His musical path is described by critics as unique. Tomáš Kačo composes and arranges music for choirs and orchestras and is also dedicated to film music. He prepares topics for the organizers.
Tomáš Kačo has given many recitals in Europe and the USA. In 2021, commissioned by the Czech Philharmonic, he composed variations on the theme of well-known Czech opera arias called Fantasy Open Air for the final Open Air concert of the 125th season. For the ceremonial opening concert of the presidency of the Czech Republic in the Council of the European Union, he wrote a composition called Stronger than Yesterday for the PKF – Prague Philharmonia orchestra, which was premiered in July 2022 in the Rudolfinum in Prague and subsequently in the Brussels cultural center Palais des beaux- arts – Bozar. On the day of Czech statehood, September 28, 2023, he received the Silver Medal from the hands of the President of the Senate of the Parliament of the Czech Republic. As a thank you to all those who helped him, he organized a concert in the Riding Hall of the Prague Castle under the auspices of the President of the Republic Peter Pavl and the First Lady Eva Pavlova entitled Stronger than yesterday.
After graduating from the Janáček Conservatory in Ostrava, Prague Music Academy of Performing Arts and Berklee College of Music lives in Los Angeles. He openly says that he is not only in the United States for himself - he wants to be an example for other Roma children with his "obsession with music". Applauding Carnegie Hall is one of life's dream variants.
