Death of leading Czech composer
RIPThe modernist composer Marek Kopelent died yesterday at the age of 90.
Suppressed by the Communist regime and reduced to working as a pianist in a children’s dance school, he emerged from the Velvet Revlution as an adviser to President Vaclav Havel and as a mentor to a new generation of composers.
The French government named him Chevalier des arts et des lettres.
