Polish Baltic Frédéric Chopin Philharmonic

This heritage landmark of Gdańsk is a perfect sample of reborn and a new re-function, a successful reconverting process of an old building. A perfect match in a new environment, surrounded by similar features of the buildings located in its neighbourhood. The perspective above the water creating a special mirroring effect.

The Polish Baltic Frédéric Chopin Philharmonic (Polska Filharmonia Bałtycka im. Fryderyka Chopina) is a prominent concert venue and musical institution located in Gdańsk, Poland. It holds a special place in the cultural landscape of the city and the broader Pomeranian region. 🏛️ A bit of history: The Philharmonic was founded in 1945, shortly after the end of World War II, as part of efforts to restore and promote cultural life in postwar Poland. It has undergone several transformations and restructurings over the decades. In 1996, the institution moved into its current, beautifully restored home on Ołowianka Island — a striking red-brick power station from the turn of the 20th century, which was converted into a modern concert hall. 🎵 Musical focus: The Philharmonic orchestra is known for its versatile repertoire, performing classical symphonic works, choral music, opera, and contemporary compositions. It regularly features international soloists, conductors, and guest orchestras. The venue also hosts jazz, pop, and film music concerts, making it accessible to wider audiences.

Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of music. Deeply inspired of sense of presence to be a part of orchestra. Almost. Nice view of the old town will opened from the second floor. During intermission you can enjoy drinks at the bar.

Good place to be, very clean n good breakfast

It was a spontaneous visit on Thanksgiving day :) pleasant experience, we loved the performance and the concert hall

Gdańsk is a beautiful seaside city in northern Poland on the Baltic Sea, known for its rich history and charming streets. I totally recommend visiting it for a few days, and I’ll definitely go back someday."

Easy access with parking next to the building. Inside, comfortable seats with good views of the stage. An enjoyable experience.

Great place. We were there for a concert of symphonic orchestra, and enjoys it a lot.
