Discussion Music Club of the Kraków Philharmonic “Wszystko Gra”

The Discussion Music Club “Wszystko Gra” is a series of meetings with musicians, conductors and artists intended for all music lovers interested in the topic.

The initiative brings together around the Kraków Philharmonic a community of music fans of different ages and professions who want to meet to talk about music and share experiences on their journey through the soundtrack. The DKM can also contribute to popularizing music and discovering its beauty. Thanks to the proposed meetings, concertgoers have a chance to deepen their knowledge about the presented works, the fates of composers, and to learn about the intricacies of the professions of instrumentalist, singer or conductor.

As part of DKM “Wszystko Gra”, the starting point for discussion becomes a conversation with artists: conductors, soloists, as well as scholars. In the Club there is no division between those who speak and those who only listen. The meeting host Agnieszka Malatyńska-Stankiewicz encourages everyone to talk, to share their musical knowledge and experiences, doubts, musical emotions, experiences and memories. Each meeting has its own theme, which is connected with the program of the Saturday subscription concert of the Kraków Philharmonic.

FREE ENTRY – the club is open to all interested!
Meetings will take place in the Golden Hall of the Kraków Philharmonic.

Recordings of conversations with our guests are available as podcasts on the Radio Kraków website
