Lukáš Pospíšil began his cello studies under the guidance of his father, Ladislav Pospíšil, and simultaneously in the class of Professor Mirko Škampa. He subsequently graduated from the Prague Conservatory under Professor Viktor Moučka and the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague in the class of Professor Miloš Sádlo.
He furthered his musical education at the University of Music and Performing Arts (Hochschule für Musik und darstellende Kunst) in Vienna with Professor Angelica May. During his studies, he participated in a number of prestigious masterclasses led by such distinguished figures as Erkki Rautio, Heinrich Schiff, and Martin Hornstein. He also proved his exceptional qualities in performance competitions—winning 3rd prize at the Beethoven’s Hradec Competition in 1983 and becoming the absolute winner of the Janáček Competition in Brno in 1988.
Currently, Lukáš Pospíšil is the principal cellist of the Hradec Králové Philharmonic. He also brings his many years of orchestral experience to his role as principal cellist of the Prague Philharmonia, where he has been a member since its founding by Jiří Bělohlávek in 1994.
His extensive orchestral career also includes significant international engagements, most notably his multi-year tenure as solo cellist with the Kammerorchester Berlin. In recent years, he has appeared as a guest principal cellist with the Würzburg Philharmonic Orchestra.
His musical direction was significantly influenced by a long-term and intensive collaboration with conductor Jack Martin Händler, both within Händler's orchestras and as a soloist (performing in Luxembourg, Bratislava, and Vienna).
In addition to his orchestral work, he is a sought-after and active chamber musician (having previously performed, for example, with the Zeiher Quartett in Würzburg). Currently, he is dedicated to an intensive chamber music partnership with pianist Filip Martinka and regularly performs alongside other outstanding instrumentalists.
