He received his earliest musical instruction from Lukas Lorenz, the Deutschbrod teacher with whom Johann Stamitz is alleged to have studied. After attending school in Vysoká, he furthered his musical education in Prague and then, at the age of 17, in Vienna. There he received violin instruction from the Royal Court musicians Franz Josef Timmer and Johann Otto Rosetter, and flute lessons with Johann Franz Piarelli. In 1729 he met the violinist and composer Franz Benda and as both were equally dissatisfied with their positions they left Vienna abruptly and fled to Poland. In Warsaw he took up a concertmaster post of the Jakub Suchorzewski’s orchestra. In 1733 he followed Franz Benda to the Royal Polish Chapel at the Saxon Court in Warsaw. On the accession of August II in 1733 both musicians transferred to the Dresden Hofkapelle. Their appointment was, however, of short duration, for in 1734 he followed Benda in accepting a summons to the chapel of Crown Prince Frederick at Ruppin. Čart remained in Frederick’s service for over 20 years, moving with the rest of the chapel to Rheinsberg in 1736 and then to Berlin after Frederick’s accession in 1740. It was not until 1757 or 1758 that the careers of Benda and Čart diverged: while Benda remained in Berlin, Čart took up a post at Mannheim, the city where he remained the rest of his life.
