Barbara Maria Zakrzewska-Nikiporczyk (Poznań, 1 January 1946 – Poznań, 30 November 2023) was a composer and musicologist. She studied composition with Florian Dąbrowski at the Poznań Academy of Music, graduating in 1969. She finished her postgraduate studies in library and information science in 1974; two years later she received a doctorate at the Institute of History, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. She studied electronic music for three months in Utrecht, Netherlands, in 1981, and in Oxford, England.
Life and career
Zakrzewska-Nikiporczyk began working in the music collection of the Poznań University Library in 1972. From 1982 through 1998 she was the chair of the Polish national committee of the Répertoire International de Littérature Musicale (RILM) in New York, and through this time she prepared over 800 abstracts of Polish music books and articles. In 1996 she began working as a bibliographer for another database project, the Retrospective Index to Music Periodicals (Répertoire International de la Presse Musicale; RIPM), and by 2000 she fully indexed five Polish music periodicals published during the 19th century (Echo Muzyczne, 1879-1882; Ruch Muzyczny, 1857-1862; Tygodnik Muzyczny, 1820-1821; Pamiętnik Muzyczny Warszawski, 1835-1836; and Gazeta Muzyczna i Teatralna, 1865-1866). Zakrzewska-Nikiporczyk became the librarian at the University of Southern California's Polish Music Center in 1998, where she catalogued the collections as a Kościuszko Foundation Fellow.
As a musicologist and librarian, Zakrzewska-Nikiporczyk has published 5 books and 68 articles, including her doctoral dissertation about music in Poland from 1870 to 1918. She has lectured in Poland, Germany, Italy and Sweden. Zakrzewska-Nikiporczyk received an award at the Young Polish Composers Competition in 1970 for her vocal work A Ave.
