The summer’s most refreshing series of classical music concerts offers a special musical experience every Monday and Thursday in the “auditorium” set up in the Károlyi court where you can relax outdoors and listen to music of Tchaikovsky, Beethoven or Vivaldi.

The series traditionally opens with a Tchaikovsky evening given by the King Saint Stephen Symphony Orchestra on 1 July. It is followed by the MÁV Symphony Orchestra conducted by Imre Kollár.

The Hungarian Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra has chosen a programme of best-loved works of Vivaldi, Verdi and Tchaikovsky. 

Besides the classical music concerts you can also enjoy the Sabbathsong Klezmer Band (25 July), Budapest Bar (22 July) and the 100-Member Gypsy Orchestra (1 August) in the same atmospheric location in City Park.
