What is The Last Night of the Proms?

Every year, since 1894, Britain has turned its eyes to the Royal Albert Hall for the finale of one of the world's great symphonic music events. Each year it ends in equal splendour and revelry; to the strains of Land of Hope and Glory, Fantasia of British Sea Songs, Rule Britannia, Jerusalem...

What is The Last Night of the Proms in Cracow?

A replica of the famous London concert. The concert has been converted into the annual meeting of the international business community and music lovers. Already staged eighteen times, each time as a major artistic, promotional and social event. After many years, now it can be clearly said that we have created an event of its own tradition that we can refer to. We have had 45 different soloists from home and abroad perform a rarely encountered repertoire in front of our audience. We have also listened to several Polish première performances of foreign compositions.
