Jerzy Katlewicz, conductor and teacher, was associated with the Kraków Philharmonic as its long-term Artistic Director, first conductor and later also its Director General. For decades, he also taught a conducting class at the Kraków Academy of Music. He was the originator of the Capella Cracoviensis ensemble and became famous for his outstanding interpretations of the works by Krzysztof Penderecki. He was the first to work on the performances of compositions by Henryk Mikołaj Górecki, Zbigniew Bujarski and Marek Stachowski, among other artists. The Kraków Philharmonic presents a musical memorial on the 10th anniversary of the death of the artist who had had an immense impact on Polish and Kraków culture.

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.
