Veronika Vítová

Born in Prague, Veronika has loved music all her life first playing the piano as a child and singing for many years with Bambini di Praga. What was once a hobby has now become her life. Having studied singing with Professor Vratislav Kadlec and Filip Gondolán in the past, she worked as a flight attendant for almost 9 years before finally realizing that music is her passion and has devoted herself to it fully. As a student at the Jaroslav Jezek Conservatory, she studied jazz under the direction of Miriam Bayle and singing technique with the great opera singer Hana Pecková. 

She currently collaborates with many outstanding jazz musicians. Veronika performs at jazz clubs in Prague and the Czech Republic with her quartet as featured in the Tribute to Bill Evans project. She is a regular guest of the Neratovice Big Band orchestra, the Vaclav Hybš Orchestra, Magnum Jazz Big Band, a member of the soloist chamber of the Musica Malinconico orchestra devoted to early music, is part of the Kühn Mixed Choir, and has also been featured in the show Kudykam by Michal Horacek and Petr Hapka. Having recently attended the prestigious International Jazz Workshop in Banff, Canada under the leadership of Dave Douglas, she is currently working on her own compositions with lead guitarist Petr Zelenka and drummer Martin Novak in the experimental free-improvisational project Soundcolor. She teaches private singing, intonation and music theory.
