Villa Corinthia

An evening of music under the stars

There is something magical about music in summer, the softness of the evening air, the glow of lanterns, the quiet rustle of the garden. This special outdoor concert brings together a selection of uplifting and evocative classical works, performed in the enchanting setting of Secret Garden.

Designed as a gentle celebration of summer, the programme blends familiar favourites with moments of discovery. The music is warm, melodic, and full of colour, the kind of repertoire that invites you to relax, breathe, and simply enjoy being present.

As daylight fades and the garden settles into twilight, the music becomes part of the atmosphere itself, creating an experience that is both intimate and unforgettable.

€70 - price includes concert at Secret Garden followed by a standing reception at the Veuve Clicquot Lounge.
