Music in Szczecin and the region: concerts in philharmonic halls, culture centres and clubs, from Szczecin and Koszalin to Wałcz and Mielno.
The music calendar covers dozens of events in Szczecin and in Koszalin, plus smaller programmes in around a dozen towns of West Pomerania. This section is for people who want to find a concert in their own town or choose a venue for an evening out.
Szczecin hosts the most concerts, and among the venues with the largest number of events in the calendar are the Karłowicz Philharmonic and the Dekadencja stage. They are two different worlds: a concert hall and a city cultural stage.
Filharmonia im. Mieczysława Karłowicza is the address for anyone looking for music in a large hall, with a programme built on the concert repertoire. Next to it works NOWA DEKADENCJA Szczecińskie Centrum Kultury (Scena Dekadencja), listed in the calendar also as Szczecińskie Centrum Kultury - Nowa Dekadencja, a stage with a more varied profile. The calendar lets you set a filter for category and day and then compare what is on offer.
Several concerts in the calendar come from neighbourhood and club venues: Dom Kultury 13 Muz, Sala Kominkowa, Dom Kultury Słowianin, Pałac Ziemstwa Pomorskiego and Enea Arena. Single events also happen at Event Arena, Centrum Kultury Krzywy Gryf, Jazzment Klub, Willa Lentza, Piwnica Kany, Stara Rzeźnia, Klub 13 Muz and in Kościół św. Piotra i Pawła. The name of the jazz club hints at its profile, and the other venues combine music with other forms of culture.
Koszalin has almost as many concerts in the calendar as Szczecin, led by the philharmonic hall and the city culture centre. It is the best place in the region if you are looking for music outside the regional capital.
The philharmonic appears in the calendar under two entries: Filharmonia Koszalińska im.Stanisława Moniuszki and Filharmonia Koszalińska. Both refer to the same institution, so do not treat them as two different addresses. They are complemented by Centrum Kultury 105 w Koszalinie and single concerts at Fregata. All events from the city are collected on Muzyka: Koszalin, and the general city calendar is at Koszalin.
Kołobrzeg is third in the number of concerts here, with around a dozen events. Mielno adds one entry, but that is enough to find something for an evening by the sea.
Two venues play in Kołobrzeg: Regionalne Centrum Kultury, an institution with a broad programme, and Centrala Klub Muzyczny, a club with a clearly musical character. The full list is on Muzyka: Kołobrzeg, and all events from the town on Kołobrzeg. Fans of music by the sea can also look at Mielno.
Outside the three largest towns the calendar contains a few concerts in Stargard and Wałcz and single events in smaller places. It is an idea for an evening closer to home or for a weekend trip.
In Stargard concerts are organised by Stargardzkie Centrum Kultury, and the list for the town is on Muzyka: Stargard. In Wałcz there is Wałeckie Centrum Kultury, with events gathered on Muzyka: Wałcz. Single concerts appear in Szczecinek (SAPIK Sala Kina Wolność), Złocieniec (Ośrodek Kultury), Białogard (Centrum Kultury i Spotkań Europejskich), Dębno (Dębnowski Ośrodek Kultury), Pyrzyce (Pyrzycki Dom Kultury) and Barlinek (Barlinecki Ośrodek Kultury).
It is also worth browsing the town calendars: Szczecinek, Złocieniec, Białogard, Pyrzyce, Barlinek, Gryfice, Goleniów, Świnoujście and Drawsko Pomorskie, to see what else goes on there besides music.
A philharmonic hall is a stage for large programmes in a large room, a music club offers a smaller audience and closer contact, and a culture house combines music with workshops and meetings. The choice depends on the atmosphere you want.
The region has two philharmonic halls, in Szczecin and Koszalin, and several clubs: Centrala Klub Muzyczny in Kołobrzeg and Jazzment Klub in Szczecin. In culture houses and centres, music sits beside theatre, cinema and cabaret. If you want something other than music, go to Teatr (theatre), Kabaret (cabaret) and Kino (cinema).
The calendar has filters for day and category: you choose a day, then the category Music, and see only concerts for that date. The same rule applies after choosing a town, so it is easy to narrow the list to one venue.
You buy a ticket through the portal: from the event card you go to the seller, and after the purchase you return to your plan for the day. Before travelling to a smaller town, check that the event is in the calendar for the chosen day, because programmes in smaller centres change less often and are usually single events. For events of another type, see Sport.
The simplest way is to choose a town and then a stage with a suitable profile. Szczecin and Koszalin offer the widest choice, Kołobrzeg a middling one, and in smaller towns there is often a single venue, so the trip has to be matched to a specific concert.
If you want music in a larger hall, start with the philharmonic halls. If you prefer a club, look at Centrala in Kołobrzeg or Jazzment Klub in Szczecin. For regular visitors to culture houses, browsing the town calendar works best, and for families and groups of friends, venues with a broad programme such as Regionalne Centrum Kultury are a good choice. The whole section, with all categories and towns, is on Muzyka.
Not every concert takes place in a hall with armchairs. The calendar includes several venues of an unusual character: a church, a villa, a palace and gardens outside the city. They are good choices when you want to combine music with a walk or sightseeing.
In Szczecin, music events go to Kościół św. Piotra i Pawła, which gives a completely different acoustic and mood from a club. Willa Lentza and Pałac Ziemstwa Pomorskiego are historic interiors where a concert is also a chance to see the building. Outside the city lie Ogrody Przelewice Zachodniopomorskie Centrum Kultury Obszarów Wiejskich i Edukacji Ekologicznej in Przelewice, so a concert trip can be combined with an excursion. Szczecin also has Stara Rzeźnia, another space of an industrial character, and the calendar includes Piwnica Kany, known for its theatre stage. When planning such an evening, check how to get there and whether the concert is a one-off or part of a series.
The number of events in the calendar shows how often a venue organises concerts. Venues marked "a lot" are the philharmonic halls and the Dekadencja stage, "several" are mainly culture centres and large halls, and "single" are clubs, churches and small centres.
For the reader this has a practical meaning. If you want to be sure something happens in a given week, look at venues with many concerts, such as the philharmonic halls in Szczecin and Koszalin. If you like to discover smaller stages, follow venues with single events, for example Pyrzycki Dom Kultury or Barlinecki Ośrodek Kultury, and return to the calendar from time to time, because new concerts appear there less often but can be a good chance to see artists on an intimate scale. The same goes for Dębnowski Ośrodek Kultury and the Ośrodek Kultury in Złocieniec.
In Szczecin large events usually take place in show halls. In the calendar these are Enea Arena and Event Arena, venues built for a bigger audience than a club or culture house.
Such a concert needs different planning: buying a ticket earlier through the portal, allowing for travel and time to get in. For many people it is a chance to see well-known performers, for others a reason to pick a quiet evening in a club. If you are unsure, compare both options in the calendar and choose the one that suits the day. Theatre and cabaret programmes from the same venues are in Teatr and Kabaret.
Yes, if the programme in your own town does not suit you and the journey is not a problem. Szczecin and Koszalin are quite far apart, but both have large calendars, so even a trip for a single evening can pay off.
From around Szczecin it is easy to reach Stargard, Goleniów, Gryfice or Pyrzyce, where small events appear in the calendar. From Koszalin it is close to Mielno, Białogard and Kołobrzeg. The town pages help you choose, for example Goleniów or Gryfice, because they also show events of other categories and let you plan the whole day, not just the concert.
Most events are at the Karłowicz Philharmonic and on the Dekadencja stage. Culture houses, clubs and other venues, such as Enea Arena or Willa Lentza, have fewer concerts.
