Exquisite technique, unusual interpretative imagination, perfect play, vastly complimented by music critics, Carl Petersson is a virtuoso who is performing with humour in a brilliant way. The pianist chooses his repertoire boldly, delighting his audience with surprise.
This time – at the Kraków Philharmonic on 2 and 3 February – we will hear him in Schumann’s Introduction and Allegro Appassionato and Beethoven’s Fantasia in C minor for piano, choir and orchestra.
The Kraków Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir, accompanying the Swedish pianist, will be led by Charles Olivieri-Munroe.

Besides their weekly symphony concerts, the Kraków Philharmonic also organises master recitals and educational concerts for children and young people.
The Karol Szymanowski Philharmonic Hall in Kraków was the first philharmonic to open in Poland after the Second World War. Besides the weekly symphony concerts, it organises master recitals and educational concerts for children and young people, while the summer meetings with music assume the form of chamber concerts of slightly lighter character. A hallmark of the Kraków Philharmonic repertoire is its programme of oratorios, which the Philharmonic can present thanks to its extensive and varied lineup: the orchestra, mixed choir, and boys choir. The Kraków Philharmonic has become recognised for its promotion of the works of Karol Szymanowski in Poland and abroad.
The Philharmonic Hall frequently hosts concerts by special guests, for example, at major festivals.
