The PBtet (Prague Brass Quintet) is a new generation of Czech brass players. They are composed of Walter Hofbauer and Karel Hons – trumpets, Daniela Hons – horn, Barbora Kolafová – trombone and Jakub Chmelař – tuba. Among the quintet's greatest achievements is winning the 2019 Jeju International Brass & Percussion Competition. The quintet's repertoire is typically diverse, ranging from many musical periods to the works of contemporary foreign and Czech composers such as Jan Kučera. There will also be a world premiere. PBtet will present a new composition by Jiří Trtík, which was specially commissioned for the festival.
