The show will include a diverse selection of French chansons, combined with classic opera moments, classical scores. The electric guitar chords and the rhythm of the drums will outline moments of instrumental jazz, romantic and cinematic frames, on the lakeside.



Conceived as an exclusive experience, the event offers a limited number of tickets. 200 seats will be set up on the lakeside, facing the artists, creating a direct connection with the show.

For guests who prefer a more refined setting, 50 premium seats will be available, located on the terrace of the Queen Mary Tea House, with their backs to the stage. This type of ticket includes a glass of carefully selected wine and a light dinner.

The Gaudeamus Quartet is one of the most appreciated chamber ensembles in Romania, operating under the aegis of the Brașov Philharmonic since 1988. Founded in 1987, the ensemble has performed numerous concerts and recitals in Romania and abroad, being invited to prestigious stages in France, Italy, Great Britain, Germany, Spain, Poland, Croatia and Japan.

He has been awarded numerous international prizes, including the Grand Prix at the Rovere d'Oro Competition in Italy and the Special Prize at the International Mozart Quartet Competition in Salzburg.

Daniel Magdal is a Romanian tenor appreciated for his artistic versatility and remarkable stage presence, being constantly invited to opera, operetta and crossover concert productions. His repertoire includes both arias and established roles from international lyric literature, as well as vocal-symphonic works and recitals dedicated to the great classical composers.

Through his talent and the experience gained on important stages, Daniel Magdal offers each concert an extra touch of emotion, refinement and spectacularity, being one of the most appreciated performers on the Romanian lyrical scene.

The dress code for this event is inspired by relaxed elegance, with summer-appropriate outfits complemented by a subtle vintage touch. As the temperature can drop after sunset, we recommend adding a jacket or light coat to your outfit.

The concert will begin at 20:00 PM, offering guests the opportunity to enjoy a high-class cultural experience in a refined and distinctive setting, which was once the Royal Residence. An event designed for lovers, music enthusiasts and anyone who wants to enjoy an elegant, yet relaxing summer evening.
