Bach–Vivaldi

Concerto is a show of skills – of a soloist or a group of soloists. The word concerto derives from the Latin verb concertare, to contend or to compete – it indicates the competition between the solo voice/voices and the orchestral tutti. This rivalry results in the perfect harmony – a thing possible only in music.
The Capella Cracoviensis musicians playing at the Kraków Philharmonic Hall transfer us to the baroque times when concerto was born, when it developed and matured. But everything is already there: the show of skills, the rivalry and, most importantly, the harmony.

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.
