The concert will be conducted by the RPO’s Music Director Vasily Petrenko and is set to feature The Second Symphony by Jean Sibelius, Sergei Prokofiev’s First Symphony The Classical and Max Bruch’s Violin Concerto with Sergey Krylov as the soloist.
An outstanding violinist, Krylov is also Principal Conductor of the Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra.
The event starts at 6.30 p.m. in Kraków's ICE Congress Centre.
On Sunday, the London-based ensemble gave a concert in the southwestern Polish city of Wrocław.
Earlier this year, on August 31, the British orchestra appeared in Warsaw, at a concert rounding off the International Chopin and His Europe Festival.
This performance included the overture to Paria, a less well-known opera by Stanisław Moniuszko, a composer known as the father of Polish national opera.
One of UK’s foremost symphonic ensembles
Founded in 1946 by Sir Thomas Beecham, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra ranks among the UK’s leading symphonic ensembles. Its rostrum of conductors includes Poland’s Grzegorz Nowak, who has served as the RPO’s Permanent Associate Conductor since 2015.
Nowak had previously had a seven-year spell as the RPO’s Principal Associate Conductor, leading the orchestra on several foreign tours and making numerous recordings, including Mendelssohn’s Scottish and Italian Symphonies, Shostakovich’s Symphony No.5, Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, Dvořák’s Symphonies No. 6–9, all of the symphonies of Schumann, and the complete symphonies and major orchestral works of Brahms and Tchaikovsky.
