“We have agreed that 2027 will be a transitional period during which management of the Music Center will remain in the hands of the company in accordance with the existing mandate,” said Jan Hoffman, deputy mayor of Kraków. This means that management of the institution will remain under the Kraków City Development Agency next year.
The findings were presented on Thursday, November 5, during an open public hearing on the future of the Music Center, attended by representatives of the city, the arts community, city council members, and residents.
As Kraków Deputy Mayor Jan Hoffman emphasized, the transition period will allow for the resolution of property and financial issues and a return to discussions on the ultimate management model for the facility.
In 2027, both municipal orchestras – Capella Cracoviensis and Sinfonietta Cracovia – will use the Center on a lease basis. The city plans to provide them with additional subsidies for this purpose.
The transitional year is intended to ensure a smooth launch of the new facility, which is scheduled to open in the spring of 2027, while also allowing time to develop a solution that meets the needs of Kraków’s music community.
