This work deals with the personality of the composer Jan Václav Hugo Voříšek in conjuction with the care of his musical legacy, in particular in Vamberk - his birthplace in Eastern Bohemia. From 1991 to 2008 a small-scale music festival was held there, entlited "Voříšek´s Vamberk", each year it acted as a reminder of the composer´s significance and dedicated several concerts to his memory. In relation to Voříšek as a professional organist, an organ competition unique in the Czech republic came into existence there, utilizing the historical mechanical instrument played in the past by Voříšek in the church of St. Procopius. The paper captures the birth of both music events, their evolution and the circumstances of their cessation. Each musical programme is presented in a separate chapter.In the view of the fact that the course of the individual year´s volumes is not filed in the municipal archive and the only publicly available records can be found in Jiří Lakmajer´s chronicles stored in the archive of the town of Rychnov nad Kněžnou, the aim of this work is to process, organize and assort the materials from the estate of Lubor Bořek, the founder of both significant events.
