Concerts like this does not happen every day. We will celebrate the 90th anniversary of birth of not one but two 20th-century genius composers. What’s more, we will celebrate it not with performance of not one, not two, but three cello virtuosos! At the Kraków Philharmonic, we will hear Gautier Capuçon, Arto Noras and Claudio Bohorquez in Krzysztof Penderecki’s Concerto grosso. The second part of the concert will be taken by Henryk Mikołaj Górecki’s famous Symphony of Sorrowful Songs with solo part by Justyna Khil.

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.
