Principal Guest Conductor: Pomeranian Philharmonic
Hailed by Polish Radio as “a real hope for Polish conducting”, Paweł Kapuła is one of the most exciting and finest conductors of the younger generation, known for his excellent technique and fresh and highly captivating interpretations of innovative and vibrant programmes. Since his highly acclaimed debut with the Warsaw Philharmonic in 2016 – where he stepped in for Stanisław Skrowaczewski – he has conducted all the major orchestras in Poland.
In February 2021 Paweł Kapuła was appointed Principal Guest Conductor of Pomeranian Philharmonic in Bydgoszcz and works with orchestras such as the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra (NOSPR), Sinfonia Varsovia, Sinfonia Iuventus, Capella Bydgostiensis, the Beethoven Academy Orchestra as well as the Philharmonic Orchestras of Gdańsk and Kraków. He appeared in festivals such as La Folle Journée in Warsaw, Probaltica in Toruń and Bydgoszcz Music Festival, where he conducted Pomeranian Philharmonic’s season finale in October 2020 with a performance of Beethoven’s Symphony No.9.
In the 2021/22 season, Paweł Kapuła will conduct the opening of the symphonic season at Den Norske Opera in Oslo with Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No.6 and the Adès Violin Concerto. He will furthermore return to Szczecin Philharmonic for New Year’s Eve Gala Concerts and will continue his successful collaboration with Pomeranian Philharmonic in his role as Principal Guest Conductor.
