Vadim Petrov

At first, he attended a Russian high school in Prague district Pankrác, during which time he was preparing for his future piano and composition studies at the Music Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts (AMU), taking piano lessons with Berta Kabeláčová and music theory and composition lessons with Miloslav Kabeláč.

He worked in the Prague Municipal Education Centre, where he was in charge of the Folk Entertainment department.

However, he managed to secure the position of professor at the Jan Deyl Conservatory and Secondary school for Visually Impaired.

[3] An awardee of the 2003[citation needed] Supraphon Gold and Platinum Disc, Petrov composed nearly 1300 works, concentrating in his production mainly on theatre, film, radio, and television music.

Besides that, he was the author of traditionally conceived orchestral and chamber compositions, the so-called "easy listening", choral works, songs, popular chansons, or music for prose and poetry recitation.
