Exceptionally popular Philharmonic concerts have been completely sold out during my stay in Kraków. Disappointed at not being able to hear the full orchestra perform at Philharmonic Hall, I booked a chamber music concert instead. The music was performed in Old Town at Saski Hotel. It was a small, cozy venue with an audience of about 75 people.

It was a very nice evening of flawlessly performed classical music. Later today, I’m headed for a tour of the Wieliczka Salt Mine. The massive, deep mines have saline lakes, subterranean chambers, and even a chapel!
