On 21 February 1955, the Philharmonic moved to a new seat and was granted the status of Poland’s national orchestra. Under its new director, Witold Rowicki, it regained its reputation as Poland’s foremost symphony orchestra.
Today the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra enjoys worldwide popularity and acclaim. It has made over 150 concert tours on five continents, appearing in all of the world’s major concert halls. The Orchestra has frequently received prestigious awards.
