Summer events: Where to get your dose of classical music in Bucharest and the country

Although the regular concert season is paused for the summer, classical music concerts are not as various projects keep the show going outdoors or in lesser-visited venues. We outline below some of the events and festivals scheduled for this summer.

Starting this weekend, Athenaeum Summer Festival will bring a mix of classical and jazz in six concerts that will see the George Enescu Philharmonic Orchestra perform alongside pianist Lise De La Salle for the opening concert and ending the event with Carmina Burana, alongside the Choir of the George Enescu Philharmonic. David Crescenzi will conduct the last performance, where the soloists are the soprano Veronica Anușca, tenor Valentin Racoveanu, and baritone Mihai Damian. Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and Wynton Marsalis will also perform at the festival.
