Featured Candlelight Concerts in Valencia
Candlelight: The Best of Bridgerton
If the final season felt too short for you, and you find yourself thinking more than usual about masked balls and period dresses… this tribute to Bridgerton is for you. With a setlist featuring some of the series’ most iconic songs, the Ateneo Mercantil transforms into a candlelit stage worthy of the 19th century. Lady Whistledown didn’t organize it, but she’d definitely want to go.
Candlelight: Tribute to Coldplay vs. Imagine Dragons
Why get excited about just one of the most successful bands’ songs when we can do it with two? We’re talking about Coldplay and Imagine Dragons, two musical icons that Candlelight will honor with an evening of pop-rock bliss in its most classic form. A string quartet, thousands of candles lighting up the Ateneo Mercantil de Valencia, and “Fix You,” “Radioactive,” “Bad Liar ,”or “The Scientist.”
Candlelight: Vivaldi’s Four Seasons
The Ateneo Mercantil bathed in candlelight. Countless points of light seem to dance with every note of The Four Seasons and the intimate sound of the violins, viola, and cello. We don’t know what the atmosphere of Paradise is like, but this tribute to one of the greatest program music compositions in history might just capture it .
Candlelight: Tribute to Ludovico Einaudi
Ludovico Einaudi’s music invites silence and introspection. In pieces like Nuvole Bianche or Una Mattina, every note on the piano glides with a simplicity that moves the soul. By candlelight, his compositions become a serene refuge, where sensitivity and beauty find their perfect balance.
