Happy birthday, Mr Telemann

Georg Philipp Telemann, born on 14 March 1681 in Magdeburg, was one of the greatest musical figures of his time. During his lifetime, he was much more famous than his colleague Johann Sebastian Bach and was highly esteemed for his versatility. Bach was in fact his close friend, so much so that Bach asked him in 1714 to be the godfather of his second eldest son Carl Philipp Emanuel.
As a composer, Kapellmeister, concert manager and publisher Telemann was engaged in almost all important areas of musical life. In his compositions, he was able to apply his skills to every musical genre – whether opera, church music or chamber music, whether in the Polish, French or Italian style. To commemorate the anniversary of his death, Capella Cracoviensis dedicate this concert to the great Baroque composer from Magdeburg.

Kraków Philharmonic Hall
ul. Zwierzyniecka 1
Besides their weekly symphony concerts, the Kraków Philharmonic also organises master recitals and educational concerts for children and young people.
The Karol Szymanowski Philharmonic Hall in Kraków was the first philharmonic to open in Poland after the Second World War. Besides the weekly symphony concerts, it organises master recitals and educational concerts for children and young people, while the summer meetings with music assume the form of chamber concerts of slightly lighter character. A hallmark of the Kraków Philharmonic repertoire is its programme of oratorios, which the Philharmonic can present thanks to its extensive and varied lineup: the orchestra, mixed choir, and boys choir. The Kraków Philharmonic has become recognised for its promotion of the works of Karol Szymanowski in Poland and abroad.
The Philharmonic Hall frequently hosts concerts by special guests, for example, at major festivals.
