Summary/Abstract: Wojciech Łukaszewski (1936–1978), composer, teacher, music critic and music activist maintained varied relations with the whole region of Silesia. The study do not take into account Czestochowa. Even though it lies on the outskirts of Silesia, in terms of culture the town has its own traditions and customs. Łukaszewski’s contacts with the Upper and Lower Silesia were mainly professional in nature. As a music school headmaster, he was supposed to visit the provincial administration institutions in Katowice. He maintained artistic contacts with the capital city of the Lower Silesia. His works were presented several times at the Wroclaw Festival of Polish Contemporary Music. He participated also in competitions for composers in Wroclaw. He dedicated one of his works, Freski wrocławskie [Wroclaw Frescoes] to the city of Wroclaw. He maintained relations with the Silesian artists performing his works (the conductor Piotr Warzecha, the singer Anna Porwik-Pniok). Moreover, the Czestochowa music school kept contacts also with the Bohumín art school in Cieszyn Silesia region. Despite a fairly extensive scientific literature about Łukaszewski. the studies have not so far treated his relations with Silesia as a separate research topic.
