Karol Szymanowski’s Philharmonic

The first information on attempts to create professional symphonic orchestra in Cracow comes from the end of the 18th century. However, the Symphonic Orchestra of professional ensemble status directed by Feliks Nowowiejski-was established only in 1909 and was active until September 1939.

High artistic position of the K. Szymanowski’s Philharmonic nowadays is based on its intense concert activity. Except for weekly symphony concerts, the Philharmonic offers serial events in historical halls of the city - University Concerts in the Collegium Novum Hall.
