News - NOSPR

The Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra (NOSPR) is a leading Polish orchestra and one of the most significant cultural institution in the whole country. Through its live performances, publications, and educational activity, NOSPR has been shaping the main stream of Polish musical culture for 85 years now.

Since 2018, NOSPR has been a member of the ECHO (European Concert Hall Organisation), bringing together 22 finest concert halls in Europe.

NOSPR is a co-organiser of the Festival of Premieres, the Katowice Culture Nature Festival, the Music+Science Festival, and the Karol Szymanowski International Music Competition.

The world of culture and the arts is currently undergoing a deep transformation, largely resulting from the experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic. At NOSPR, we  have been following the changes carefully, but we are not satisfied with the part of  observers only. We have been maintaining the finest traditions of the musical world, simultaneously believing that it is our mission to initiate changes, develop new solutions for the sector of culture, and to discover new paths of interacting with our audiences.
