Stepjan Sulek (1914-1986).
The Croatian composer, violinist, conductor and music teacher, Stjepan Sulek (1914-1986), graduated from the Music Academy in Zagreb where he studied violin with the famous Czech teacher, Vaclav Huml (1880-1953), and composition with Biago Bersa (1873-1934), the founder of the modern movement in Croatian music. Sulek was a member of the famous Trio with pianist Ivo Macek (1914) and cellist Antonio Janigro (1918-1989), as well as the first violin of the Zagreb quartet. In 1958, he launched a successful conducting career in which he helped to develop an international reputation for the Chamber Orchestra of the Zagreb (today Croatian) Radio and Television. He received national and international recognition and was the recipient of numerous awards for his work. He was also a distinguished professor of musical composition and mentor of many leading Croatian composers (Milko Kelemen, Stanko Horvat, Kresimir Sipus, Pavle Despalj, Dubravko Detoni, Igor Kuljeric, and others).
