Szeluto has a square and a monument in the city. The monument was erected on the square on July 23, 1984, on the hundredth anniversary of the composer's birth. Once, his compositions appeared in the programs of the Poznań Philharmonic Hall, his music was played on Polish Radio. Szeluto has become a permanent part of the city's cultural life and for this reason the Association of Apolinary Szeluta. Its idea is to promote the composer's work not only in the region but also in the world. The artist has been the patron of the music school since 2005, and every year the city organizes the Apolinary Szeluta Piano Festival.
Edward Fiszer, on the other hand, was behind many hits. His songs were performed by the greatest entertainers. Apart from Violetta Villas, they were sung by Jerzy Połomski, Trubadurzy and Czesław Niemen himself. Edward Fiszer was also a co-creator of the Opole Festival and the creator of the famous 3rd program of Polish Radio.

How it working
To listen to the history of monuments as part of the "Discover History" project, you need to follow a few simple steps. Below, we present a short, step-by-step "user manual" to provide a relatively simple way to access the mini-auditions.
You need a smartphone with a camera. The camera lens should be pointed at the information plaque located next to the monument. Below is a view of the plaque itself and its example location next to the Karol Musioł monument in Opole.
After pointing your smartphone's camera at the QR code located on the right side of the plaque, the app's welcome screen will appear, followed by a screen with the name, photo of the monument, and the "START" button.
The "START" button starts the audio recording process.
Your smartphone will prompt you with the next steps after you listen to the story or pause it. Please keep an eye on your smartphone screen!
Other available options: brief information about the monument, author of the text and recording, list of other monuments in the city included in the "Discover History" project, downloadable map of monuments, video, and social media links

Monuments in cities remind us of the history of places and people, and allude to important events. They are also works of art. Bronze, metal, wood, or concrete transformed into the form of a monumental obelisk attract attention. We enjoy sitting by them, taking photos, and making appointments.
Project partners
Implementing the "Discover history" project in each city requires the involvement of many people: programmers, graphic designers, writers, actors, sound engineers, and coordinators. It is thanks to them that this project came to life.
Our ambition is to continually expand its reach. Therefore, we thank our current partners and invite additional cities, institutions, companies, and individuals to collaborate!
