The Kraków Philharmonic’s symphony concert will feature works by Penderecki, Panufnik, and Karłowicz, share the intense emotional charge and the authors’ profound, personal response to historical events: the death of the Primate of the Millennium Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński, the Katyn massacre, and the murder of Father Jerzy Popiełuszko. The evening will be dedicated to the memory of the victims of the Katyn massacre and the victims of the Smolensk air disaster.

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.
