The Krakow Philharmonic Orchestra was created in 1945
shortly after the war ended and has evolved to become the most active orchestra
in Poland.
During the summer, the Orchestra offers a series of weekly
performances in spaces around Wawel Castle. Naturally, we wanted to go and check it out.
Listening to four oboeists play a diverse and gorgeous
programme of songs enhanced by a regal backdrop of historical paintings and
high ceilings was magnificent and helped us to forget that these old buildings
don’t offer air conditioning even in the most intense of summer heat. The handheld fans they offered for the
performance also helped to transport us back in time for a delightful evening
of music, which is starting to feel like a frequent experience for us here in
Poland….
