His Symphony No. 6, composed for the Polish Radio National Symphony Orchestra, was premiered in April 2015.

Jabłoński is also involved in promoting music among children and young people. He led 1700 auditions in schools of the Małopolska region in collaboration with the Philharmonic in Kraków. He also writes articles, reperts and essays on music for "Ruch Muzyczny" and "Glissando" magazines. Occasionally he publishes texts in "Tygodnik Powszechny", "Dwutygodni"k, and Culture.pl. He is a co-author of Przewodnik po muzyce koncertowej (A Guide to Concert Music; PWM Edition 2003/2004), wrote close to 50 entries for Encyklopedia Muzyczna PWM (PWM Encyclopaedia of Music), including a special supplement on Henryk Mikołaj Górecki.
