After graduating from the Zalischyky seminary in 1912, he went to study in the Mykola Lysenko music institute in Lviv. At the beginning of World War I there was a nationalistic independence movement of Halych, which Hayvoronsky took part. He was the organizer, conductor, and inspector of many orchestras.
