The article begins with a biographical note presenting the most important facts about the life and work of Edmund Sobiś. Then it goes on to show the way this lay brother and catechist had to go to become an organist, a choirmaster, and an organ-builder. Since the author of this article used to teach at the Diocesan Organist School in Szczecin, he knows some aspects of Sobiś’s life from personal experience. The purpose of this article is to outline the 46 year-long work of the lay brother and his accomplishments in the Szczecin-Kamień diocese. During that period, he worked as an organist, ran the Diocesan Organist School in Szczecin, founded the “Szmaragdowe Słowiki” (“Emerald Nightingales”) choir and a youth brass band, built an organ along with his students in Szczecin and Stargard Szczeciński, was a teacher and friend of children and adolescents. He was given a special award – the Order of the Smile. As a Knight of the Order of the Smile and a religious from the Society of Christ for Polish Migrants, he left behind the lasting results of his work crowned with a few publications. Through his work and activity he also became an example to many organists of his diocese.
