Warsaw Philharmonic

Sun 17 May View Venues, Dates & Times

Warsaw Philharmonic’s last appearance at Birmingham’s Symphony Hall was back in the 20th century, so their return this month is indeed a welcome one. 

The 125-year-old orchestra have earned a much-deserved reputation for championing the output of Polish composers - something which they’re certainly doing in this mid-afternoon concert. Alongside Beethoven’s energetic Seventh Symphony, the Philharmonic will be turning their attention to Chopin’s best-known Piano Concerto (No2) - performed by trailblazing pianist Alexandra Dariescu - Witold Lutosławski’s Little Suite - a musical snapshot of Polish folk culture - and Grażyna Bacewicz’s dancing scherzo for piano. 

Krzysztof Urbański (pictured), the orchestra’s music & artistic director since 2024, is the concert’s conductor.
