Anton Nedved
Nedved (also known as Antonín Nedvĕd and Antonin Nedved / 1829-1896) was an Austrian-Austro-Hungarian composer, singer, and music teacher, born in 1829 in the Czech Republic. His passion for music led him to study in Prague, where he honed his skills as a solo opera singer. In 1856, he ventured to Ljubljana, Slovenia, and from there, his artistic journey took a significant turn.
Throughout his career, Nedved played multiple roles – a devoted music teacher, singer, and prolific composer, making a lasting impact on the musical landscape of Ljubljana. For an impressive 26 years, he served as the director of the Philharmonic Society in Ljubljana. His forte lay in choral composition, and one of his most celebrated works was his enchanting setting of Gregorčić’s poem “Back to the Mountain Paradise.”
Nedved’s influence extended beyond composing; he dedicated himself to nurturing musical education, concert life, and the overall cultural milieu in Ljubljana. As the music director of the Philharmonic Society from 1858 to 1883, he showcased grand vocal pieces with the newly formed choir.
