Double Concerto in A minor for violin and cello was Johannes Brahms’ last symphonic work, premiered in 1887. For the last 10 years of his life, the composer focused on chamber and solo music. He penned the Double Concerto in A minor for his two friends: violinist Joseph Joachim and cellist Robert Hausmann. They both took part in the first performance of the concerto with an orchestra led by Brahms himself. At the Kraków Philharmonic we will hear Joanna Konarzewska and Rafał Kwiatkowski in the solo parts. The soloists will be accompanied by the Kraków Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Marek Pijarowski; the evening will be rounded up by Franck’s Symphony in D minor.

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.
