Born on July 25, 1945, in the Czech Republic, Tylšar's exceptional musicianship led him to become a prominent member of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, where he contributed his expertise as a principal hornist. His career blossomed both in the orchestra and as a soloist, often accompanied by his brother Zdeněk Tylšar, who was also a noted horn player. The two frequently performed together, delighting audiences with their impeccable synchrony and musical dialogue.
