Vladimír Franz (1959) is a distinguished figure in the Czech cultural landscape. He graduated from the Faculty of Law at Charles University while simultaneously pursuing private studies in painting with Karel Souček and Andrej Bělocvětov, and composition with Vladimír Sommer and Miroslav Reichl, as well as art history and music history. As a visual artist, he has organized more than fifty solo exhibitions both in the Czech Republic and abroad, displaying his work in galleries across three continents.

His musical oeuvre is particularly extensive. Since the 1980s, he has mainly focused on composing incidental music, for which he has received numerous significant awards. However, he also composes classical, film, and radio music. To date, he has created incidental music for over 120 theatrical productions for leading Czech theaters (National Theatre in Prague, National Theatre Brno, Vinohrady Theatre in Prague, Zlín City Theatre, West Bohemian Theatre in Cheb, among others).
