<\/figure>J\u00d3ZEF WI\u0141KOMIRSKI (1926\u20132020) \u201cFirst of all, let me introduce myself, I am not a professor. Although I taught for a number of years, I do not have the title of professor. If you must address me, you can address me, for example, as \u201cDirector\u201d, because I am honorary director, and I was ordinary director for forty-two years \u2013 probably a Polish record \u2013 and in only two institutions. […] My name and surname are J\u00f3zef Wi\u0142komirski. It is better not to say how old I am, because I was born in 1926.\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n J\u00f3zef Wi\u0142komirski \u2013 conductor, composer, cellist, populariser of culture and author. He was born on 15 May 1926 in Kalisz into a family with rich musical traditions. His father Alfred lectured at the conservatories in Warsaw, \u0141\u00f3d\u017a and Lublin, his half-siblings, Maria and Kazimierz, were famous musicians and active participants in musical life in Poland, and his sister Wanda gained international fame as a violinist. As a child, J\u00f3zef Wi\u0142komirski learned to play the cello.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During the war, he was a soldier of the Home Army. He fought in the Warsaw Uprising. In the following years, he remained an active participant in cultural and social life, a witness and a keen observer of the most important events in post-war Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After the end of World War II, another important stage of his life began. He studied conducting and cello at the State Superior School of Music in \u0141\u00f3d\u017a (Z. G\u00f3rzy\u0144ski, W. Ormicki), then in Warsaw. As a cellist, he was a member of the State Philharmonic Orchestra in \u0141\u00f3d\u017a and an opera orchestra in Warsaw. He was a conductor of the Krak\u00f3w Philharmonic (1950-1951) and Pozna\u0144 Philharmonic (1954-1957), artistic director and conductor of the Philharmonic in Szczecin (1957-1971). In 1978, he founded the Philharmonic in Wa\u0142brzych, of which he was managing and artistic director until September 2005.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He led a busy artistic activity, performing over 1,600 concerts in 26 countries in Europe, Asia and America. He was also a composer: his numerous works were performed all over the world. Part of this output are compositions written with music students in mind \u2013 intended for children and young people. This aspect was particularly close to him. He wrote lyrics for many of his compositions and musical fairy tales. His writing skills also allowed him to write over three hundred articles and columns on not only musical topics. J\u00f3zef Wi\u0142komirski was involved in the popularisation of music in the mass media (he prepared about 400 broadcasts). He died on 1 August 2020, on the 76th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising, in which he \u2013 as mentioned above \u2013 took part. He was buried at the Pow\u0105zki Cemetery in Warsaw. By resolution no. XXIII\/558\/20 of the Lower Silesian Assembly of 29 October 2020, the Sudeten Philharmonic in Wa\u0142brzych was named after J\u00f3zef Wi\u0142komirski.<\/p>\n\n\n\n IMPORTANT COMPOSITIONS:<\/strong> References: <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"J\u00d3ZEF WI\u0141KOMIRSKI (1926\u20132020)Patron of the Sudeten Philharmonic \u201cFirst of all, let me introduce myself, I am not a…\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_disable_site_padding":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-13295","page","type-page","status-publish","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/filharmoniasudecka.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13295","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/filharmoniasudecka.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/filharmoniasudecka.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/filharmoniasudecka.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/filharmoniasudecka.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13295"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/filharmoniasudecka.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13295\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13297,"href":"https:\/\/filharmoniasudecka.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13295\/revisions\/13297"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/filharmoniasudecka.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13295"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
