We are deeply saddened to share the news of the passing of composer Rafał Zapała. Born in 1975, he was a vital part of Poland’s musical community—an esteemed colleague and friend to many. Known for his boundless creativity and tireless activity, he contributed to numerous collaborative projects and was an important figure on the contemporary music scene in Poland. His works were performed at major festivals, including Warsaw Autumn, earning him national recognition.
A farewell ceremony was held on Friday, July 25 at the Junikowo Municipal Cemetery in Poznań, followed by a musical tribute at the I.J. Paderewski Academy of Music performed by his friends and colleagues.
Rafał Zapała’s early passing is a painful loss to the entire artistic community.
