Rune Bergmann
An energetic and compelling figure on the podium, Norwegian conductor Rune Bergmann (pronounced Rue-na Bairg-mahn) is a dynamic, versatile conductor with an extensive classical, romantic, operatic and contemporary repertoire. Considered among today’s most talented young Scandinavian conductors, his elegant interpretations and reputation as an inspiring and profound musician continue to attract the attention of orchestras throughout the world.

In North America, he has guested with such orchestras as the Alabama Symphony Orchestra (where he led the world premiere of Grawemeyer Award-winning Serbian composer Djuro Zivkovic’s Psalm XIII), Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Houston Symphony Orchestras, the Calgary and New Mexico Philharmonics, and the Brevard Music Festival.

Upcoming highlights of Bergmann's 16/17 season include return engagements in Calgary, Lisbon and New Mexico, as well as North American debuts with the Edmonton, Hawaii, Pacific, and Toledo Symphony Orchestras and the Wrocław and Argovia Philharmonics in Europe. The 16/17 season also marks the beginning of Bergmann's tenure as the new Artistic Director and Principal Conductor of the Szczecin Philharmonic in Poland.

Szczecin Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra
was founded in autumn 1948 in Szczecin. Five years later it had developed into the State Philharmonic, which was named after their patron Mieczysław Karłowicz in 1958.

Artistic directors of the ensemble have included Józef Wiłkomirski, Stefan Marczyk, Jarosław Lipke, Józef Radwan, Jerzy Salwarowski, Zygmunt Rychert and Mykola Diadiura.

Over time the orchestra has performed with outstanding soloists, and enhanced its growing repertoire with works by popular composers associated with Szczecin written for the ensemble, and has given concerts outside of its headquarters in Poland and abroad.

In 2012, Dorota Serwa became the director, and has been supported in artistic activities by conductors Michał Dworzyński and Ewa Strusińska. The orchestra is currently conducted by Rune Bergmann, who has held the position since the 2016–17 season. In the 2014–15 season, the Philharmonic took up residence in a revolutionary new building in Małopolska. Alongside its diverse repertoire, a special place is occupied by the music of the patron of the Philharmonic, Mieczysław Karłowicz.
