Citizens’ Garden concerts

An Bhruiséil
Gairdín na Saoránach

From Monday to Friday, every day in the Citizens’ Garden you will find classical music performances by different musicians and ensembles.

The line-up includes virtuosos such as Mischa Maisky or rising talents such as Elen Shahinans, a 16-year-old Belgian-Armenian. This is a unique opportunity to see world-renowned musicians from Brussels and beyond perform in an intimate outdoor setting. The programme features an eclectic mix of styles, from classical to opera, jazz and world, so there is something for everybody to enjoy.

The Citizens’ Garden opened to the public in 2020 as a green oasis amid the bustling European Quarter. Housed in the grounds of the former residence of painter Antoine Wiertz, the European Parliament has helped to preserve Brussels’ heritage by restoring the garden. The concerts hark back to the soirées and gatherings organised by the 19th century Belgian artist, who modelled the garden on ancient Greece and Rome.

Ba mhaith linn a chur in iúl duit go n-iarrfar ort masc máinliachta a chaitheamh ag na ceolchoirmeacha agus aird a thabhairt ar na treoirlínte maidir le scaradh sóisialta. Tá na ceolchoirmeacha saor in aisce áfach, beidh an líon daoine teoranta do 100 duine. Bí i láthair go luath agus glac suíochán sula gcuirfear tús leis na himeachtaí.

I gcás drochaimsire, déanfar bearta iomchuí. Déanfar fógraí a thabhairt ar an leathanach Facebook Visit European Parliament a luaithe is féidir.
