BRIEF BIOGRAPHY


Maja Trochimczyk (in 1987-2000 "Maria Anna Harley") studied musicology at the University of Warsaw, Poland (M.A. 1986) and sound engineering at the Fryderyk Chopin Academy of Music in Warsaw (M.A. 1987). After emigrating to Canada in 1988 she earned her Ph.D. in musicology from McGill University in Montreal in 1994. For the years 1994-1996 she was awarded a Postdoctoral Fellowship by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. This fellowship supported two research projects on contemporary Polish music; after their completion Dr. Trochimczyk joined the faculty of the USC Thornton School of Music as Director of the Polish Music Center (1996-2004).

Dr. Trochimczyk's research interests include the history and aesthetics of 20th-century music, Polish composers (Bacewicz, Lutosławski), women composers, philosophy of music, and music ecology. She wrote three books, on Polish Dance in Southern California (East European Monographs, Columbia University Press, forthcoming in 2005), The Music of Louis Andriessen (New York: Routledge, 2002), and After Chopin: Essays in Polish Music (Los Angeles: Polish Music Center, 2000). Her publications appeared in Contemporary Music Review, Musical Quarterly, Computer Music Journal, Muzyka, Studia Musicologica, American Music and a host of other scholarly journals. She also contributed to books or series including The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians II (Macmillan), Women Composers: Music Through the Ages (G.K. Hall), Lutosławski Studies (Oxford University Press), and The Age of Chopin (Indiana University Press).

In 1998-2003, Dr. Trochimczyk has served as the editor-in-chief of the online Polish Music Journal which she created in collaboration with scholars from Poland, Germany, U.K, and the U.S. Volumes of the Polish Music Journal were dedicated to Chopin, Paderewski, Bacewicz, Stojowski, Polish-Jewish composers and Górecki. In 2000-2004, she was the editor-in-chief of the Polish Music History Series of books and supervised the publication of vol. 7, The Songs of Szymanowski and His Contemporaries (edited by Zofia Helman, Teresa Chylińska, and Alistair Wightman) and vol. 8, Józef Koffler by Maciej Gołąb. While at USC, Dr. Trochimczyk organized two major international conferences, International Conference on Polish-Jewish Music in 1998 (PMJ vol. 6, no. 1) and The Górecki Phenomenon music history symposium in 1997 (PMJ vol. 6, no. 2). In 2000, she curated a Polish Manuscript Exhibition presenting a sample from over 100 manuscripts and 200 letters by 40 Polish composers that constitute the Polish Manuscript Collection. She had significantly expanded this collection through a two-year manuscript donation drive started in 2000. In 2002-2003, she curated an Exhibition about Ignacy Jan Paderewski that was also shown at CUNY, Buffalo, NY. In 2002, she established the Paderewski Lectures series at USC, commemorating Poland's great statesman, pianist and composer by presenting seminal figures in contemporary Polish music (Zygmunt Krauze, Joanna Bruzdowicz). In 2004, after leaving USC, she co-founded the Society for Polish Music and became its first president; in 2005 the Society will commence the publication of Musica Polonica, an online scholarly journal dedicated to Polish music, with the editorial board of the former PMJ.

Details from personal biography: Born on 30 December 1957 in Warsaw, Poland (birth name - Maria Anna Trochimczyk, other names - Depinska, Harley), Dr. Trochimczyk is the citizen of two countries, Poland and Canada. Her mother, Henryka Wajszczuk, comes from a Polish family that lived in the part of Poland annexed by the Soviet Union after WWII and is now in Bielorus (the city of Baranowicze). The family was displaced during the war by forced exile (to Siberia) and is now scattered throughout Poland and the U.S. One of the mother's uncles, Feliks Wajszczuk, was a Roman-Catholic priest in Woskrzenice and a prisoner of the German concentration camp in Dachau during WWII. Another member of the family, Karol Wajszczuk, was a priest active in the anti-German resistance (Home Army) during WWII; held as a prisoner in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp (prisoner no. 25746), he later died in the concentration camp in Dachau (as prisoner no. 22572). More information about that part of the family may be found on the Wajszczuk Family page. Dr. Trochimczyk's father, Aleksy Trochimczyk, came from a Byelorussian family living in the district of Białystok; the family has roots reaching to Ukraine and the Caucasus mountains (Georgia and/or Armenia).

In 2000, Dr. Trochimczyk returned to her family name to honor her parents, victims of a vicious and senseless crime in Poland. She has three children: Marcin Depiński (b. 1979; USC B.Sc. 2001; USC M.Sc. 2004), Anna Harley-Trochimczyk (b. 1989), and Ian Harley-Trochimczyk (b. 1993). Since 2004, Dr. Trochimczyk has worked as a professional fundraiser, serving as Agency Development Manager in Resource Development Department of Catholic Charities of Los Angeles, Inc., and a fundraising consultant for community and music groups.
