Wladyslaw Zelenski - prominent Polish composer and pedagogue from the late 19th and early 20th century

Summary/Abstract: Wladyslaw Zelenski is one of the pillars of the polish music culture from the second half of the 19th century and the first two decades of the 20th century. He is known mostly for his art songs and his four operas but his work includes many other types of compositions. He is a founder and the first president (director) of the Academy of Music in Kraków. The times in which W. Zelenski worked belonged to Chopin and Moniuszko but that did not stopped him to work with love and devotion to the art as well as to admire theirs. His public and pedagogical work contributed to the preservation and cultural development of the Polish people during the difficult period of the 123 years of foreign domination. Because of that the times between 1881 and the First World War in Krakow is called the „Zhelenski Age“ and today the music highschool there bears his name. It is interesting that on the 7th of May, 2017 on The International Opera Awards in London Zelenski’s opera “Goplana” received an award for rediscovered work of the year produced by The Warsaw National Opera Teatr Wielki.
