How long does it take to master playing the organ? What is the lowest sound you can make on them? And why is the organ provided with a mirror? These and a whole host of other questions are asked during concerts of the Organ Mornings series held by the Kraków Philharmonic. The answers are given by Michał Białko, who enriches the musical presentation of the canon of organ literature with stories about the history and construction of the organ, the organist's work, a fire at the Philharmonic and the creation of a new concert instrument – one of the largest and most interesting in Poland. Launched this season, the series has proved to be a real hit, attracting listeners of all ages, from primary school pupils to pensioners. Perhaps this is due to the host, who makes every effort to ensure an attractive repertoire (with one constantly recurring highlight: Bach's Toccata in D minor). Perhaps this is because the instrument can be seen from a really close range, as the audience sits on the stage here. Perhaps the formula of a concert combined with word and conversation (which, if necessary, takes place in Polish and English) is successful. Or perhaps it is simply the magic of the organ?
