The concert at the Kraków Philharmonic will feature works inspired by the nature and folklore of northern Europe: Sibelius’s Finlandia, rooted in the beauty of native nature and mythology, Grieg’s Piano Concerto, carrying the rhythms of Norwegian regional dances, and the same composer's music to Ibsen's drama Peer Gynt, from folk tales. This will be the North in a nutshell! Aleksandra Świgut, an artist whose playing moves, surprises, and leaves a lasting impression, take s the solo piano part, while Łukasz Borowicz will conduct the Kraków Philharmonic Orchestra.

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.
