In 1993, he won first prize in the Prague Conservatory Piano Competition, which was a significant achievement for a young musician. After completing his studies at the Prague Conservatory, Karel went on to study at the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. He continued to excel in his studies and was awarded a scholarship to study at the Royal Academy of Music in London. Karel's career as a classical music artist began to take off in the early 2000s.
