Valencia has become one of the cities where Candlelight has taken root with more force, to the point that these famous candlelight concerts already occupy a prominent place in the cultural offerings of the city.
And its success is not only explained by the atmosphere or the lighting: there is something in the formula that has caught on with the public and that, little by little, has redefined the way in which live music is consumed in Valencia.
New audiences, new spaces and new ways of listening to music in Valencia.
One of the keys to this impact has been Candlelight’s ability to diversify the music scene. Its program includes from classical music to jazz concerts or soundtracks, without forgetting the tributes, among which are those of Mecano, The Beatles or Coldplay vs. Imagine Dragons as the most popular in Valencia.
A very wide range of repertoires that, added to the affordable prices with tickets from 15.00 €, has brought live music to new audiences, regardless of age or musical tastes.
The type of venues has also had an influence. Candlelight venues in Valencia go beyond the typical auditoriums, taking music to locations with historical, architectural and local value, such as the Ateneo Mercantil or The Westin Valencia hotel.
And this is not a one-off event. Candlelight concerts have become a recurring plan — with the talent of local classical musicians such as the Cuarteto Valencia — because they are always renewed and adapted to each season of the year: special editions in summer, themed repertoires at Christmas or Valentine’s Day, and even a new decoration in spring.
This attention to atmosphere, created with thousands of candles, is part of its formula for success and its impact. More than a series of concerts, Candlelight is a complete sensory experience that has strengthened the music scene in Valencia and conquered the public.
