There was a time, when Johann Sebastian Bach’s cycle of 6 Sonatas for violin and harpsichord were considered revolutionary and innovative. Why? Instead of playing the role of a continuo instrument, filling in the harmonies of a figured bass, the harpsichord takes here the upper melodic lines on equal terms with the violin.
The sonatas are also considered to be the most emotional works in the instrumental oeuvre of the composer. Is that right – check out for yourselves during the Kraków Philharmonic Chamber Concert!
The concert broadcast live on Kraków Philharmonic YouTube channel.

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.
