al fresco concerts

Al fresco - Italian for 'fresh' - is generally used, when writing about classical music in English, to refer to concerts held out of doors. In an age of electronic amplification, classical music is increasingly performed out-of-doors, often in parks, gardens and outdoor auditoria, usually during summertime.
