He complemented his primary education by learning to play several wind instruments, becoming outstanding as a child for his extraordinary ability with the trumpet.
At the age of 14 he began to compose. Two years later he moved to the USA in order to complete his musical training at the Berklee College, Boston.

At only 22 he was an outstanding member of the main symphony orchestra in Czechoslovakia. Since 1972 he has performed in the most representative concert halls at that time in several countries such as Russia, Poland, the two Germanies, Hungary, the USA and Asia, which has provided him with a
wide and extensive knowledge of the styles of musical interpretation in other places. Nevertheless, his musical idiosincrasy remains tightly linked to the stylistic classicism preponderant in the former Czechoslovakia.

At the age of 26 he began a new professional activity
dedicated to training musicians that later were to
become conductors of the most outstanding orchestras
in Western Europe. His teaching experience lasted from 1972 to 1992.
In 1991 he was appointed as music director at the Karlin Musical Theare in Prague, position that he held until 1994. From that date he went deeply into the musical composition of several operas and musical pieces, amongst which it is worth mentioning the
opera "Disgrace", a mixture of contemporary classicism
with touches of foreign trends.

In 2000 he was appointed as Secretary General in the international summons "The new opera for Prague 2000". In that year onwards up to present time he has been recognised for various achievements as much for interpretation and composition as for teaching.

In 2001 he began to carry out editorial work on historical
materials and opera manuscripts to be performed in the prestigious Prague National Theatre.
It was in 2005 that he had the idea of forming the "Prague International Orchestra" and for that, conductor Havlícek has brought together the present group chosen among the best young musicians in the country.
