Organists-schoolmasters from the 17th to the 19th century are mentioned in here. The thesis deals with the 20th century in more detail, especially with its 2nd half. In the 20th century, musicians at the choir of St. Laurence's church were often inherently connected with the musical activity of the town. Some of them led Pěvecký sbor Hron (choir), conducted brass bands and orchestras or played the piano to accompany silent films. In the second half of the 20th century, some of the musicians had to face various persecutions of the communist regime at that time. Regarding this information, a chapter on a Náchod youth group, which began to...
