During the second half of the 18th century, the symphony became the most important genre of orchestral music, while Haydn – having been perfecting it for over four decades – can be credited with having led its crystallisation and development from late-Baroque roots to mature Classicism. But why Haydn so extreme? As Capella Cracoviensis explains, the idea came from a universal desire to play music, to return to works which shaped our culture, and to perform and finesse art. And it’s even more powerful than that: the ensemble aims to perform all of Haydn’s symphonies – a mere 108 compositions! – by 2023.

Kraków Philharmonic Hall

ul. Zwierzyniecka 1

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.
