After the end of her studies at the Ostrava Conservatory, she was admitted to the Prague Art Academy. There, she attended Josef Vlach’s class, until his premature death. Her work with one of the leading Czech musicians has been another fundamental stage in Hana’s experience.
After Vlach’s death, she continued to study with Jiri Novak (the first violin of the legendary Smetana Quartet) and she worked on chamber music with Antonín Kohout, the cellist of the same ensemble. Hana concluded her studies in Prague in Ivan Straus’s class.
During these years she also went to Weimar, where she attended Wolfgang Marschner’s masterclasses.
She then was selected for the Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester, conducted by Claudio Abbado and was invited to the Greensboro Festival (USA) as the Konzertmeister of the Festival Orchestra.
She made the most of her stay in the States, studying for a short period with Josef Gingold.
