IHS has learned of the passing of Bedřich Tylšar. We send our condolences to his family, students, and all the horn players he impacted through his playing and teaching.

Bedřich Tylšar, a Czech horn player and pedagogue, was a long-time member of the Czech Philharmonic and an exponent of the Czech tradition of horn playing.
After graduating from the Janáček Academy of Performing Arts in Brno, Bedřich Tylšar played in the Gottwald Philharmonic (now the Bohuslav Martinů Zlín Philharmonic), the Prague Symphony Orchestra (FOK), the Munich Philharmonic (1967-1969), and from 1973 until 2001 the Czech Philharmonic (with his brother, Zdeněk, as principal horn). He also performed as a soloist at home and abroad and recorded about twenty albums.

The brothers made two-horn works by Czech composers such as Rosetti, Fiala, Reicha, and Pokorny widely known, as well as double concertos by Vivaldi, Telemann, and Haydn and horn concertos by Vivaldi, Haydn, and Leopold Mozart.

Bedřich Tylšar was elected an IHS Honorary Member in 2024.
