Polish Wieniawski Philharmonic Orchestra

The Polish Wieniawski Philharmonic Orchestra was founded in December 1944, but 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 Feb. 10, 1945. This concert provided the momentum for an orchestra and a classical music gala May 18 of the same year — the first symphony concert in post-war Poland. Since then, the Polish Wieniawski Philharmonic Orchestra has gone on many concert tours.
