Bohuslav Martinů was a Czech composer born on December 8, 1890, in Polička. He is renowned for his extensive body of work, including symphonies, operas, and ballets, and for blending Czech folk music with modern classical elements. After moving to Paris in 1923, Martinů developed a neoclassical style while maintaining a strong connection to his Czech roots. He later moved to the United States, where he became a significant figure in the music scene, aided by Swiss conductor Paul Sacher from the Basel Chamber Orchestra, who was instrumental in his transition to American life.
