The holiday music course was established in Krzemieniec in 1928 on the initiative of Professor Bronisław Rutkowski from the State Conservatory of Music in Warsaw. The objective was to improve the qualifications of teachers working mainly in Volhynia. The idea was to facilitate coexistence of people of various nationalities and religions, and, above all, to improve their professional qualifications. The holiday music course was the most important course organised in Krzemieniec. Every year over two-hundred people underwent training there. One of those people was Aleksander Milewski, whose archive includes a number of documents and photographs illustrating the musical life in Krzemieniec. On the basis of this material the author has tried to establish what it meant for a provincial teacher to take part in such a course. Translated by Anna Kijak
