These concerts sell out long before we know who will perform; however, there is some unusual magic at work here that only happens once every five years – we are in for a performance by one of the laureates of the 19th Chopin Competition! The artist will play one of the Polish composer’s piano concertos, and his/her presence on stage of the Kraków Philharmonic will be the highlight of the 80th anniversary of the founding of PWM Edition – the oldest, largest, and for years the only music publishing house in Poland.

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.
