An ocean of candles, classical music like you’ve never experienced it before, the magic of the candlelight concerts has already enchanted a number of cities, and its success in Lyon continues to grow. You’ve probably already thought about it, the idea has crossed your mind, but you haven’t taken the plunge. Today, we give you the 5 reasons you need to make up your mind.
1. Discovering enchanting places
A concert would be nothing without the stage on which it takes place. Whether outdoors, in historic monuments, or in the most modern architectural innovations, Candlelight makes it a point of honor to offer you its concerts in the best of settings. Of course, it’s all about the visuals, with ever more marvellous spaces, but also acoustics that allow the musicians to show you their full potential. Lyon’s architectural heritage in the spotlight, all that’s missing is the music.
2. The intimate atmosphere of a Candlelight candlelight concert
What better light than candlelight? We already light them at home around a bath after a long day when we want to relax, for a guaranteed romantic atmosphere, or just in the evening in front of our favorite TV series. They are synonymous with tranquillity and trigger something inexplicable in us. Candlelight concerts have made this their hallmark, offering you a warm, relaxing setting even before the concert begins. Although artificial, the flames of these thousands of candles offer us their best dance performances and dress up the music of the concert.
3. Discover talented artists
Somebody’s got to play these concerts interpreting the world’s greatest musical artists in a classical version is no mean feat. Each artist at a Candlelight concert is chosen for his or her talent and the emotion he or she evokes when the musical notes escape from his or her instrument. Sometimes even accompanied by dancers, art and its primary vocation of sharing are brought to the fore to offer you dazzling shows and a unique proximity to the artists and the music. Whether string quartet, grand piano or voice, every instrument is played to perfection.
4. A diversified musical program
Music is an art, and like all arts, it’s only as good as the people who make it. There are as many musical styles as there are people who listen to music, and each song touches us differently. So, to make sure we’ve got something for everyone, the only thing you’ll find in common with the Program is : Great artists. Whether you are a fervent nostalgic of classical music, an admirer of the rock&roll movement, a fan of film music or pop fan, you’re sure to find something to suit your taste. Any ideas about the artists in these genres? Come and discover them!
5. Affordable prices guaranteed at a Candlelight concert
Classical music has a reputation for elitist concerts at exorbitant prices. The main aim of Candlelight concerts is to break down this barrier, and democratize this rich culture by offering concerts at completely affordable prices. If you’ve always wanted to see a ballet, or if you can’t afford a ticket from Lyon to Los Angeles just for a Taylor Swift concert, these candlelit concerts are the ideal alternative.
