Few buildings in Szczecin stand out as much for their architecture as the Mieczys\u0142aw Kar\u0142owicz Philharmonic. The amazing building has been in the city since 2014 and guided tours of the building are offered at certain times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What does the word Philharmonic mean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Philharmonic comes from the ancient Greek and can be translated roughly as friend and harmony or more broadly as “love of music.” The term is often used as a name component of large orchestras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Szczecin, the love of music is very much felt during a visit to the Mieczys\u0142aw Kar\u0142owicz Philharmonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Philharmonie<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A brief history of the Szczecin orchestra<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Filharmonia im. Mieczys\u0142awa Kar\u0142owicza w Szczecinie was founded in 1948 and played its first concert under the direction of Felicjan Lasota. Since 1958 it bears the name of the Polish composer Kar\u0142owicz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2004 it was already noticeable, the musicians needed a larger and more modern space for their performances. A suitable building site was sought and a competition was announced for the design of a new concert hall. 24 different proposals were submitted and the jury selected the design by Barozzi\/Veiga from Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
