Live connection Prague–Memphis

made possible via our equipment
About the event

We connected musicians across the Atlantic in real time using our unique MVTP technology. Pianist Jan Pudlák and singer Lee Andrew Davidson performed in Prague with trumpeter David Spencer in Memphis. The connection was between the Music and Dance Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague and the Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music in Memphis.

Jan Pudlák is a graduate of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague and specializes in jazz and contemporary music. Lee Andrew Davison is a jazz and musical theatre singer and conductor. He regularly performs a program of spirituals and gospel music at concerts and festivals. David Spencer is a professor at the University of Memphis, has performed as a featured trumpeter in numerous symphony orchestras and has been involved in Grammy award-winning projects throughout his career.

The two locations were connected by the ultra-low-latency audiovisual technology MVTP provided by CESNET.
