Daniel Matejča on coming into his own and developing his craft

19-year-old Daniel Matejča is perceived throughout Czechia as a bit of a wunderkind. Studying under the mentorship and guidance of famous Czech pedagogue Ivan Straus, Matejča has been playing the violin since he was four, has impressed audiences with his renditions of Bach classics, and has picked up winning titles such as the Eurovision Young Musicians contest in 2022. But underneath the mature and composed exterior is a young man who enjoys skateboarding, hip-hop, and travel. In our fifth episode of the Faces of Czech Music, we take you into Matejča’s world.
