The intimate atmosphere
What better light than that of candles? We already light them at home while taking a bath after a long day when we want to relax, for a guaranteed romantic atmosphere, or just in the evening while watching our favorite TV show. They are synonymous with tranquility and trigger something inexplicable within us. Candlelight concerts have made this their hallmark, offering you a relaxing and warm setting even before the concert begins. Candlelight takes pride in presenting its concerts in the finest settings, with venues that are ever more wonderful.

We know their names, but sometimes their work is less familiar. Mozart, Chopin, and Vivaldi have each left their mark on the history of music in their own way, and Candlelight invites you to come and listen to the notes and chords that made them famous in a unique setting. Discover The Four Seasons or the Turkish March by the glow of thousands of candles, in a 60-minute abridged version.
But also contemporary composers
Music is an art, and like all arts, its value lies in what we make of it. There are as many musical styles as there are people listening to music, and every song moves us differently. So to ensure there’s something for everyone, the only common thread you’ll find in the lineup is: Great artists. Whether you’re a die-hard fan of the rock & roll era, a lover of film scores, or a pop enthusiast, you’re sure to find something to your liking.
A concert for every season
Each season offers its own Candlelight variation: the freshness of spring inspires flowery and delicate concerts, summer lights up with outdoor events, fall is adorned with dark and intoxicating atmospheres featuring special Halloween concerts, and winter becomes a sparkling setting to celebrate the holidays with the most beautiful songs. Thus, the candles highlight not only the music but also the unique charm of each season.
Anecdotes During the Concerts
Choosing to spend an evening at a Candlelight concert is a promise of a truly immersive experience. During the concert, the musicians will share anecdotes about the creation of the music, the artists, an album, or even the song itself. You’ll be transported to another world and leave with a fresh perspective on music. Whether you’re a die-hard music lover or just curious, you won’t be disappointed.
The Musicians
Someone has to perform these concerts, and interpreting the world’s greatest artists in a classical style is no small feat. Every artist in a Candlelight concert is chosen for their talent and the emotion they evoke as the notes flow from their instrument. Sometimes even accompanied by dancers, art and its primary purpose—which is to share—are highlighted to offer you dazzling performances as well as a unique closeness to the artists and the music. Whether it’s a string quartet, a grand piano, or the human voice, every instrument is played to perfection.
