Klezmer Music

Although it originates in the tradition of the Ashkenazi Jews of Southeastern Europe, the genre was mostly influenced by Romanian, Greek, Ukrainian, Polish, and Turkish music. The repertoire consists of instrumental pieces, connected with the folklore of Reform Judaism, and of songs performed in Yiddish, belonging to the tradition of Orthodox Judaism.

Booked online at cracowconcerts.com, the venue is quite small and plain however the passion with which the duo performed was impressive. The violinist played with verve whilst the guitarist played well and sang in Yiddish with gusto. Definitely worth a visit.

Nowa Huta Cultural Centre

Reviewed By 594dorotad

The Nowa Huta Cultural Center is a 'hidden gem' in Krakow if you’re fond of remarkable exhibitions. During our three-day stay in Krakow, the exhibition of Zdzislaw Beksinski was high on the wish list. When we arrived we found out that the exhibition was closed due to COVID-19. Thats when we discovered what “Polish hospitality” means; the friendly security guards took all the efforts and made a private visit to the exhibition possible. They showed real commitment and sensitivity for the service they provided. The works on display of Beksinski are beautifully detailed and impressive. The other exhibitions (Duda Gracz and Monika Palki) were also a real treat. As an extra, you can see gems of street art around the building. A more than successful day!

I've been an occasional tourist performer since 2016 in Kraków. Now living in the city since July, I perform much more often. I love the entertainment value Kraków Standup Comedy is providing the city, huge thanks to them for this and the regular stage time opportunity they provide for local and travelling comics. Having performed in many different countries they set the bar really high; well managed events, great hosting, cheap entry price and amazing quality of international headliners being booked (Headliner shows are every two weeks on Sundays at which alternates with an open mic on the other Sundays). Szpitalna1 comedy night is the only place to be on a Sunday night, the other nights during the week are great too.

Chopin Concerts - Chopin Gallery

To any Chopin aficionado, concerts of the piano master's musical works present themselves as a real treat. Pieces from the oeuvre of the legendary composer, renowned both in Poland and worldwide, are performed regularly all year round. The concerts highlight Chopin's most popular piano works, as performed by such notable pianists as, among others. 14 Slawkowska Street An old historical tenement house called "Dębinskim" or "Under Barrel".The house was built in the 15th century as an one-storeyed building and it was restructured thoroughly in the middle of the 16th century.After that the house became the property of a Royal Hunter named Kaspar Dębinski who worked for the Royal Family in the Wawel Castle.He ordered to add the second floor and then the house's facade was decorated with paintings presenting different kinds of weapons.At present you can see extraordinary the 19th century staircase with its original richly ornameted railing made of iron leading to the concert hall The concert hall is dedicated to F.Chopin was as one of the greatest composers of all time.

My wife and I visited Kraków last week and one of the high points was a piano concert of works by Chopin given by Bartlomiej Kominek. It was superb. He played 9 selections of Chopin and moved us all. It was a small audience and the atmosphere was cozy in a charming hall decorated with pictures from Chopin life. A fine gentleman introduced the concert with a short biography of Chopin and the performer. We chatted with the host after the performance to let him know how much we loved the evening and the moving concert. This was definitely a wonderful experience and we will remember it and recommend it highly for anyone who might be lucky enough to get to Kraków and who enjoys fine culture and Chopin - also recommend it to anyone willing to be exposed to such wonderful music and ambience,
