Ambroš has worked with great musicians such as Pinchas Zukerman, Ruggiero Ricci, and others. Beginning in 2008, Ambroš exclusively undertook lessons from Maestro Josef Suk, the great-grandson of the Czech composer Antonin Dvořák, until Suk’s death in 2011. In his music career Mr. Ambroš has been awarded various prizes, including in the international competition “Du Prix des Jeunes Talents Européens de Musique Classique” in Marseille.
