Jiri Hlinka (Czech: Jiří Hlinka; born 1944 in Prague) — Norwegian professor and piano teacher of Czech origin. His most well-known student is Leif Ove Andsnes.[1]
Hlinka was a student of Frantisek Rauch and Joseph Palenichek at the Prague Academy of Music. He started giving concerts in 1966 and reached the finals of the International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow the same year.[2]
Unfortunatelly, three years later he was forced to give up his soloist career for medical reasons and has since worked as a piano pedagogue. In 1972, he moved to Norway, otaining Norwegian citizenship in 1982. He has taught at conservatories in Bergen and Oslo and gives regularly international master classes.[3]
In 2004, he was awarded the Norwegian Royal Gold Medal of Merit[4] and in 2007 the Czech «Gratias agit» Merit for presenting Czech culture abroad.[5]
