He is involved in various developmental and educational projects with these orchestras. These include performing at orchestral festivals (Germany, Czechia, Bulgaria, Montenegro), organizing outdoor concerts promoting children and youth education through playing instruments, holding annual workshops in Zawoja, Rynia, Głuchołazy, and others, where orchestras prepare their new repertoire and refine their instrumental skills. He is also a co-founder of the TIKEA Association (Society for Cultural, Educational, and Artistic Initiatives) in Leśnica, which supports the musical activity in the region. He leads orchestras and musical ensembles, promoting local culture both in the country and abroad. In Klaudiusz Lisoń’s orchestras, there are over 150 musicians in total. He has recorded several CDs and DVDs with his ensembles.

Graduates, on the other hand, have been students of artistic universities in Europe (Berlin, Essen, Stuttgart, Basel, Wrocław, Kraków, Bydgoszcz). Working with young musicians is his passion and joy, which is why it is hardly surprising that it absorbs him almost completely.
