Emil Młynarski [Poles in Liepājā]

Emil Młynarski (1870–1935), was a conductor, violinist and composer, co-founder and director of the Warsaw Philharmonic (1901–1905), director of the Warsaw Conservatoire, and in the years 1919–1929 director of the Warsaw Opera House.
Młynarski’s family were associated with Liepājā for a certain period of time. Due to his frequent appearances in Liepājā (between 1882 and 1893 he performed there at least 15 times), the press described the young virtuoso as “Liepaja’s child”, emphasizing the artist’s ties with this town.
