Nowa Miodowa - ZPSM No. 1 Concert Hall

Rakowiecka 21

The building at Rakowiecka 21 has always been associated with children - it was built in 1901 as an orphanage for girls and served as one until 2009. For many years abandoned and decaying, today, expanded with a modern music section, it has become a school - a home for music education and, at the same time, for the highest quality music.

At its heart, as the goal of an educational musical journey lays a concert hall, the mastery and precision of which inspires young people to work tirelessly and to achieve the level of performance of professional musicians and artists who are invited at concerts.

The owner of the concert hall and recording studio is ZPSM No. 1 in Warsaw.

Our goal was to create a sound with high levels of richness and clarity at the same time.

Stay close to the music

We invite you to an intimate, extraordinary space filled with natural wood, the intimate arrangement of which makes the viewer always close to artists and music. It is a space that allows the listener to meet the musician in an unexpected way - they remain close to each other, and the perfect acoustics allows them to stay in touch and exchange the energy flowing from each sound, which takes a spinning journey towards the ceiling suspended at a height of 14 m and acoustic systems, allows you to experience a unique perfection and an almost private meeting.
