Iva Bittová & Antonín Fajt

The first lady of the Czech alternative scene

An exceptional Czech singer, violinist and experimental artist known for a singular musical style that weaves together elements of classical music, folklore, jazz and the avant-garde. Her distinctive vocal delivery, combining singing, whispers and cries, together with virtuoso violin playing, has earned her international acclaim. The artist has collaborated with numerous musicians and orchestras worldwide, performed on prestigious stages across the globe, and released dozens of albums. Bittová, a native of Moravia, draws on folk traditions in her work while reshaping them into an utterly personal sound world that crosses genre boundaries and captivates listeners with its authenticity and emotional depth.

Antonín Fajt, son of Iva Bittová — composer, pianist and jazz musician. He studied composition in the USA. His work combines minimalism, jazz influences and sound experimentation. Joint performances with Iva Bittová reveal a deep personal connection between voice and piano.
