Garrick Ohlsson at the Kraków Philharmonic

Master, genius, superstar – there is no exaggeration on none of these terms. In May, the Kraków Philharmonic will host an exceptional guest: Garrick Ohlsson. The expert on Fryderyk Chopin (and the first – and so far only! – American winner of the Chopin Competition in 1970) and acclaimed interpreter of repertoires of Romanticism performs music by the Polish composer alongside pieces by Schubert and Beethoven.

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.
