About the Artist:
Watch Matyáš perform Mendelssohn's "Variations sérieuses"
Matyáš Novák has made a name for himself as one of the most promising pianists of his time through his extraordinary harmonic expression, vast repertoire, and unique touch.
He was born in Hradec Králové, the Czech Republic. He began studying piano and violin at the age of five. Matyáš graduated from the Imola International Piano Academy in 2022 where he studied with Boris Petrushansky. He previously studied at Pardubice Conservatoire in the Czech Republic under Jitka Fowler Fraňková. Currently, Matyáš is attending the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague, specifically the class conducted by prof. Ivan Klánský.

In the same year he released his first album Franz Liszt: Années de pèlerinage: Première année: Suisse and became one of the three musicians who received CME International Performing Arts Grant awarded by the Center for Musical Excellence in New Jersey.
In May 2021 a classical record label Nimbus Alliance released his CD with Mozart´s Piano concertos K. 413, K. 414, K. 415 which he recorded in cooperation with a world famous Wihan Quartet.
