His international work includes a recent tour of Japan with the Slovak Philharmonic. His professional experience combines orchestral discipline with a strong solo and chamber-music identity.

He completed his master's degree at the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava. Further artistic development has included courses with Jindrich Pazdera, Vadim Gluzman and Vesselin Paraskevov.

Press
“The dynamic and technically demanding Burlesque for violin and orchestra by Eugen Suchon was performed by soloist Marek Juran and the orchestra with genuine bravura. Their flawless collaboration reflected the violinist's extensive experience with orchestral ensembles.”
