The finale of the commemoration the 100th anniversary of the passing of Władysław Żeleński is celebrated by the Krzysztof Penderecki Academy of Music in Kraków with an evening filled with excellent works of this composer, piano and organ virtuoso, teacher and organiser of music life in Kraków. We will hear his overture In the Tatras, one of Żeleński’s best orchestral works, and his Piano Concerto which places him – together with Juliusz Zarębski and Ignacy Jan Paderewski – among the most talented and important figures of Polish pianism of the post-Chopin era (the 2nd half of the 19th century).

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.
