Sound that Illuminates the Castle Garden
The Concert Night brings together the brass ensemble of FAU, the FAU Big Band, and students from the vocal classes. This mix promises a vibrant concert experience filled with rhythmic energy, precise orchestration, and that immediate live atmosphere for which University Music in Erlangen is known.

Between Open Air and Water Hall
The first part takes place in front of the Orangerie, after which the program will move to the Water Hall at 8:45 PM. This very transition makes the evening special: outdoors, the summery audience atmosphere, indoors, the focused acoustics of the baroque hall. The interplay of light, architecture, and music creates an unforgettable evening. ([musik.fau.de](https://www.musik.fau.de/2026/06/11/konzertnacht-6/))
Tradition with Young Energy
The Erlangen University Music is a fixed element in the musical life of FAU and unites many ensembles from the brass ensemble to the big band. Since 1854, it has shaped the musical life at the university; the Concert Night has been a popular end-of-semester event for years. ([musik.fau.de](https://www.musik.fau.de/))
