Pawel Kapła (Conductor) Profile
Hailed by Polish radio as "the true hope of Polish conducting," Pawel Kapła is one of the most brilliant and accomplished conductors of the younger generation, acclaimed for his exciting, fresh and captivating interpretations, combined with his masterful conducting technique. Since his debut with the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra in 2016, replacing Stanisław Skrowaczewski, he has conducted Poland's major orchestras.
Highlights of this season include debuts with the Aarhus Symphony Orchestra, the Basel Symphony Orchestra and the Southwest German Philharmonic Orchestra, and return appearances with the Ingolstadt Georgian Chamber Orchestra and the Sibiu Philharmonic Orchestra in Romania. Recent highlights include appearances with the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra, conducting Shostakovich's opera "Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk" with the Reutlingen-Württemberg Philharmonic Orchestra, and continuing to make numerous recordings of works by lesser-known Polish composers for the Polish Radio.
In February 2021, he was appointed Principal Guest Conductor of the Pomeranian Philharmonic Orchestra in Bydgoszcz, Poland. He has appeared at music festivals such as La Folle Journée in Warsaw, and performed Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 with the Pomeranian Philharmonic in the finale performance in October 2020.
For three consecutive seasons from 2016 to 2019, he served as assistant conductor to Music Director Jacek Kaspszyk of the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra and as assistant to Andrei Boreyko of the Orchestre National de Belgian.
He began piano lessons at the age of seven. He studied conducting under Tadeusz Strugała and Stanisław Krawczynski at the Academy of Music in Krakow. He was a finalist and won the Honours Award at the 1st Adam Kopiczyski Student Conductors Competition in Wrocław in 2013. He studied musicology at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow.
