Dorota Serwa

Dorota Serwa – Managing Director of the Szczecin Philharmonic in 2012-2023.

Under her leadership, the philharmonic musicians moved to their new headquarters and the institution itself underwent a great metamorphosis, becoming a 21st century philharmonic. Today, the Philharmonic, although continuing the best traditions of the past, is a modern and innovative institution, present on the Internet and open to unconventional projects, such as the MDF Festival, the International Lutosławski Youth Orchestra or the True Musicians Tournament. The Philharmonic has also developed an educational offer and permanently introduced electronic music concerts to its repertoire.

During Serwa's term as director, the FS Orchestra made many CD recordings, including almost all of Mieczysław Karłowicz's works. By entrusting the Orchestra to renowned conductors, it also contributed to the further growth of the artistic level of the ensemble.

During her term, the artistic directors were:

• Michał Dworzyński – artistic director in 2012-2013;
• Ewa Strusińska – artistic director 2013-2016;
• Rune Bergmann – artistic director 2016-2024.

Dorota Serwa is an experienced and effective cultural manager, producer of artistic events, coordinator of countless cultural and cultural-social projects, originator of records and books, and author of publications in the field of musicology and cultural heritage. Efficiently navigating music related areas, art, photography and cultural education, she has been awarded many times for her promotion of culture.
