Juraj Filas is a Slovak composer. His work includes more than 100 compositions: symphonies, cantatas, concerts, numerous compositions for chamber music, as well as the prize-winning TV opera "momento mori"; a concerto grosso "Copernicus"; the opera "Jane Eyre" (2010); "The Wisdom of the Wise Man", a cantata for choir, violoncello and organ; "The Song of Solomon", a cantata for soli, choir and orchestra; and the requiem "Oratio Spei" which is dedicated to the victims of terrorism. His compositions have been performed by well known soloists including Joseph Alessi, principal trombone in the New York Philharmonic, Otto Sauter, international piccolo trumpet soloist, and ensembles and orchestras in Europe and in the U.S. – including the Beethovenfest in Bonn/Germany, at the Prague Spring Festival, by the ORF Vienna, in the Tonhalle of Zurich, as well as in London, Glasgow, St. Gallen, Geneva, Fulda, Paris, Hong Kong, Taipei, Tokyo, and Mexico City, as well as at Carnegie Hall (New York), and by the choir and orchestra of Sacred Music at a Sacred Space in New York. Several of his works were broadcast by Czech and Slovak Radio and Television, and are recorded on CD. Rob Cameron on Radio praha called him "one of the Czech Republic’s most important contemporary classical composers". Filas uses a distinctly lyrical and emotional musical language with which he strives to maintain the distinct European musical traditions of some of the masters such as Verdi, Beethoven and Mahler. Filas graduated from the Prague Conservatory in 1976 in voice and composition, and received a diploma in composition in 1981 from professors Jan Zdeněk Bartoš and Jiří Pauer. He lives in Prague and is an Assistant Professor at the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague where he teaches composition.
