We cordially invite you to the next edition of the “Chamber Evenings with Amadeus” Festival.
Our evening musical gatherings have become a permanent fixture on Poznań's cultural calendar. As every year, the main aim of the project is to hold four chamber concerts, which will take place every Tuesday and Thursday in February, from February 3 to February 12, 2026, inclusive, at the Orchestra's headquarters at Al. Marcinkowskiego 3, in the hall where the Orchestra's musicians rehearse every day. It is a hall with excellent acoustics. During the festival, this venue will serve as a concert hall open to a wide audience. Thanks to this project, you will be able to experience classical music in a direct form, without the barrier that the stage often represents. Traditionally, the soloists will be musicians from the Orchestra, presenting a stylistically diverse repertoire.
Tickets for each concert are priced at a flat rate of PLN 30.

For technical reasons, we have a limited number of seats available. Seats in the hall are not numbered.

Tickets can be purchased online by clicking on the “Buy ticket” button and selecting a specific event, or in person at the Cultural Information Center at 44 Ratajczaka Street in Poznań.

Date: February 3, 5, 10, and 12, 2026.
