The Warsaw Philharmonic was founded in 1901. The creator and first conductor of its orchestra was Emil Młynarski. The outbreak of war in 1939 interrupted its activities, and the Philharmonic Hall was completely destroyed in the conflict. The Orchestra that was formed again in the ruins of Warsaw soon after the war, and changed both its organisational structure and its conductors several times. It was only in 1951 that the Warsaw Philharmonic began to flourish again under Witold Rowicki, who reorganised it and formed its new orchestra. In 1955, the Philharmonic - together with its reconstructed building - was awarded the title of the National Philharmonic.
