Chamber Music
Chamber music plays an important part in Hudec's professional life. A member of the Czech Philharmonic Octet, Hudec works regularly with three of the Czech Republic's most successful quartets, the Pražak, Kocian, Skampa and Stamic.
Most significant, however, is Hudec's long-standing partnership with his colleague from the Czech Philharmonic, principal cellist František Host.
