The Polish Wieniawski Philharmonic Orchestra commenced its activities in December 1944. Its beginnings go back to numerous chamber and solo concerts given by musicians, who after World War II, established ties within Poland. The repertoire and artistic considerations, as well as the joy of making music together, led to a premiere chamber music concert, held on February 10, 1945 in the hall of the Music Society. The Polish Wieniawski Philharmonic Orchestra’s repertoire encompasses compositions from Baroque to contemporary music and include works by Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Wagner, Wieniawski, Bruckner, Mahler, Tchaikovsky, Dvořák, Stravinsky, Scriabin, Shostakovich, Lutosławski, Penderecki, and many others. The orchestra is under the direction of principal conductor Wojciech Rodek. Zuzanna Dziedzic is the Deputy General Manager.
