Boleslaw Wallek-Walewski, an outstanding musician of the pre-war Kraków, extremely active organizer of musical events, the creator of the Kraków Opera Society (1915), distinguished educator, director of the Conservatory of the Music Society in Kraków, conductor, accompanist and a composer whose works were often played in the pre-war period – is now an almost completely forgotten figure. He was most successful in his work with male choirs and he created repertoire for them, which was later performed by him and the choirs. Author of operas, oratorios, symphonic works and compositions for mixed choirs. The 70th anniversary of his death, which is celebrated this year, is an opportunity to bring this area of his professional activity to our attention as it can be helpful in working with the kind of choir which is most common today.
