al fresco concerts

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