Krakow Philharmonic, Krakow

Whether you're a connoisseur of music or not, the Krakow Philharmonic is certain to captivate your senses. Erected during the early 20th century, the Krakow Philharmonic stands as a testament to some of Krakow's most glorious moments. Beyond being counted among the city's most exquisite edifices, the Krakow Philharmonic has played a pivotal role in the narrative of the nation since its inception.

Crafted by architect Józef Pokutynski in the Neo-Baroque style, the Concert Hall boasts three chambers, with the largest accommodating an audience of 693 seats. The Golden Hall and the Blue Hall, somewhat smaller in scale, serve as intimate chamber spaces. The Krakow Philharmonic reigns supreme as the city's largest concert hall.

Originally erected as a Catholic Assembly Hall under the patronage of Prince Adam Sapieha, it swiftly transformed into the abode of the Philharmonic Orchestra. The Concert Hall now regularly hosts musicians and artists from the city and its environs, providing a platform for showcasing their talents. Presently, the Krakow Philharmonic sets the stage for concerts and symphonies rendered by both celebrated Polish musicians and international artists.

It stands as the ideal venue to relish a splendid evening imbued with refinement, artistic expression, and melodic harmonies. A visit to Krakow would be incomplete without savoring the experience it offers.
