The concert led by Łukasz Borowicz will be full of meditation and reflection evoked by the scene of Isolde’s death from Wagner’s drama to musical setting of the famous mediaeval sequence by Francis Poulenc. The concert will also include Psalm V, diploma work of young Roman Palester from 1931, at the same time being the last work the composer worked on in 1988, a year before his death. The work was performed for the first time only last year with the baritone Mariusz Godlewski in the solo part.

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.
