The Polish Baltic Frédéric Chopin Philharmonic Began Its Activity In 1945 As Gdańsk Symphony Orchestra. For Four Decades Its Cultural Activity Was Combined With The Opera Department And Changed Into Polish Baltic Opera And Philharmonic (Poifb). In 1993, These Two Units Were Divided, And The Facility Was Transformed Into Independent Polish Baltic F. Chopin Philharmonic. Only The Question Of Its Headquarters Became Unanswered. The Opera Remained In The Old Sport And Entertainment Arena From 1915. In 1997, The Power Station “Wybrzeże” Handed Over Its Old Buildings Located On The Island Of Ołowianka In Gdańsk. The Edifice Was Then Adapted For The Needs Of The Gdańsk Music And Congress Centre. The Revitalization Of The XIX Century Power Station Buildings, Was An Innovative Solution In Those Days.
