Let Us Jointly Play for the Late Wanda Wiłkomirska
It is with profound sorrow that we
say our final goodbye to Wanda Wiłkomirska. A legendary figure of Polish musical
culture, magnificent soloist closely associated with Henryk
Wieniawski International Violin Competitions, and holder of honorary membership
of Henryk Wieniawski Musical Society, she was above all a wonderful person and
a true friend.'

This is the obituary we intended to
publish in one of the national dailies. On second thought, however, we decided
to put the money to a better use. Wanda Wiłkomirska spent the final part
of her life at the Veteran Artist Home in Skolimów. In recognition of the excellent care provided
for the artist in her autumn years, we have chosen to donate the funds to the
Veteran Artist Fund, which runs the Home.
We also encourage you to follow in our
footsteps. Should you wish to join us, please
annotate your transfer:
'payment for the Veteran Artist Home in Skolimów.'
For contributions, however small, shall eventually evoke more smiles than even the most beautiful, yet short-lived flowers...
