Around 40,000 attend Belgrade Philharmonic's second picnic

The Belgrade Philharmonic has beaten last year’s record, with more than 35,000 people attending its second open-air concert, the Philharmonic announced.

This biggest ever picnic of classical music was held on June 24, 2018, in New Belgrade’s Block 13, on the site of the Belgrade Philharmonic’s new building, which is being planned in the near future. According to security estimates, this year’s event was attended by anywhere between 35,000 and 40,000 people directly inside the enclosed compound.

Having in view the considerable interest at last year’s concert at this same place, this year the municipal services increased the compound where the concert was being held by around 30%. Even though this year the guest area was 50,000 square meters, it was still not big enough for all those who wanted to hear the Belgrade Philharmonic.

An HD Odyssey performed by the Belgrade Philharmonic on Sunday night raised the public to their feet, and the audience rewarded the 105 musicians and their chief conductor, Gabriel Feltz, with frenetic applause.
