Modest Witoszynskyj was a singer (baritone) and performed in operas and choirs. He studied at the conservatory of the Galician musical society under Walery Wysocki. He performed as solo singer in the choir of Anatole Vakhnianyn, the choirs "Lyutnya" and "Boyan".^{6Витошинский Модест Петрович.}

His repertoire included solo parts from "A Zaporozhian Beyond the Danube", "Natalka Poltavka" and "Kupalo" by Anatole Vakhnianyn. He performed romances of Nestor Nizhankivsky, Denis Sichynsky and Peter Tchaikovsky.^{2Wikipedia: Вітошинський Модест Петрович.}

He performed together with, among others, the world famous opera singer Solomyia Krushelnytska.^{2Wikipedia: Вітошинський Модест Петрович.}

Remarks:

Anatole Vakhnianyn was one of the founders of the Ukrainian student organization "Sich". According to a note in the family archive, another co-founder was Іван Вітошинський/Johann Witoszynski. The "Альманах Січ" from 1908 is given as reference.

According to the record on his marriage he held a position of an "Offizial" at the administratration of Львів/Lemberg. There also is an address given in the record of his marriage, however I could not identify the name of the street.

According to Wikipedia he was born in 1856.^{2Wikipedia: Вітошинський Модест Петрович.} However, this does not match the record on his marriage.
