The Garden Nights

Since 2002, the summery backdrop of the Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle has been a showcase for first-rate musical performances.
This year, for the 9th time, the Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle become the picturesque setting for a open-air concert series of the highest quality.

Stars like the Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio, Sevara Nazarkan, Tinariwen, Freshylground, Goran Bregovic, Emiliana Torrini and the famous Bulgarian clarinetist Ivo Papasov gave a guest performance in the Gardens.

The open-air concert series takes places in the natural amphitheatre of the Gardens, the romantic lily pond, an impressive acoustic space for the worlds finest music. Paralleling the theme of “Plants from Around the World”, six performers from around the world will take the audience to new musical horizons.
