Franz Schubert’s Wanderer-Fantasie is a major challenge for the finest of pianists. The composer himself admitted that it is so technically demanding, “the devil may play it”. Cyprien Katsaris is in possession of just such skill – the acclaimed French pianist is popular in Poland for his outstanding interpretations of Chopin’s compositions. He performs the Franz Liszt arrangement of the fantasy, accompanied by the Kraków Philharmonic Orchestra, on 7 and 8 June.

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.
