Jiří Bĕlohlávek is a Czech conductor, born in Prague in 1946. Bělohlávek won the Czech Young Conductors’ Competition in 1970 and was a finalist of the Herbert von Karajan Conducting Competition in West Berlin in 1971. Most unfortunately, though, the Czech authorities then did not allow him to accept two precious invitations to conduct the Berlin RIAS Orchestra and the Israeli Philharmonic. He instead became Chief Conductor of the Brno State Philharmonic Orchestra (1972-78) <a href="https://www
