The Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra (NOSPR) has been the ambassador of culture, representing Poland on the international artistic stage for years. The Orchestra is conducted by Marin Alsop, one of the world’s best conductors.

Although modern, the Orchestra’s seat—designed by Tomasz Koniora’s studio—remains deeply connected to traditions of Silesian architecture as its bricked pillars resemble windows of familoks located in the mining estate of Nikiszowiec. Since 2023, the seat can boast one of the largest pipe organs in Europe.
