By 1929, Holcman was already a violinist for the Warsaw Symphony Orchestra.[2]
From 1937 to 1939, Holcman was serving as a concertmaster for the orchestra.[3] In 1939, he had become a solo violinist for the orchestra and began working as a conductor as well.[1][4]
Holcman became a violinist in the Warsaw Ghetto Symphony Orchestra that was led by Simon Pullman.[5]
