Gustav Brom 100: Ústřední hřbitov (Central Cemetary)

In 1994, Gustav Brom passed the conductor’s baton to Vlado Valovič. He thus ended his 54 years with the ensemble that he had given his name, but even more so his heart. He was at the time the longest-tenured conductor of a single ensemble in Europe. Several months later, on 25 September 1995, he died at the age of 74. His last resting place is in the Brno Central Cemetery within the Circle of Honour.
