The Silesian University of Technology Symphony Orchestra, based in Gliwice, was founded on 13 February 2023. It is an organisation bringing together students, PhD students, graduates and staff of the university, as well as musicians from other universities in the Silesian region. The ensemble evolved from informal musical gatherings that have been taking place since 2022, quickly developing into a full-fledged symphony orchestra.

The orchestra’s development was directly linked to the rapid expansion of its instrumental line-up. From its initial line-up, it grew to around 40 members in 2023 and now stands at 69 members. This growth was accompanied by a systematic expansion of the repertoire to include classical, film, light, festive and choral-orchestral works.

The orchestra is conducted by Miłosz Korpol, and Daria Kałużyńska serves as its chairperson. Further information about the orchestra’s activities can be found at https://orkiestrapolsl.pl/
