The Panocha Quartet in a Czech string quartet whose playing is admired for its fine tone, stylistic sensitivity, technical address and polish.
It was formed at the Prague Conservatory in 1968 from a trio consisting of Ji i Panocha (violin), Jaroslav Hl z (viola), and Jaroslav Kulhan (cello).
At the suggestion of their teacher, Josef Micka, they recruited violinist Pavel Zejfart to make up a quartet.
In 1971 Hl z was replaced on the viola by Miroslav Sehnoutka.
Panocha plays a 1743 violin by Carlo Antonio Testore of Milan.
