For Stanisław Moniuszko, the religious works came from the heart – they are a demonstration of his deepest personal feelings. In the frames of the 55th Organ Music Days, the Kraków Philharmonic presents a beautiful Latin Mass in D flat major, one of the last works penned by Polish composer.

At the same time, Moniuszko’s work will be a perfect example of a successful relationship between the greatest of the instruments and human voice which are the focus of this year’s Organ Music Days, one of the oldest organ festivals in Poland.

Kraków Philharmonic Hall

ul. Zwierzyniecka 1

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.
