Classical music is paid tribute to as it deserves
To speak of musical milestones is to think inevitably of names like Vivaldi, Mozart or Tchaikovsky. Timeless works of eternal composers that Candlelight pays tribute to with live string quartets or piano and transports us directly to a musical scene of the eighteenth century. Melodies that do not pass, nor will pass out of fashion.
Classic tributes to contemporary hits
Any occasion to listen to Mecano is a good one. Or Coldplay. Or Queen. OR ABBA. And if it’s amidst thousands of candles with the intimate sound of a string quartet, the result isn’t just good, it’s wonderful. Candlelight celebrates the classics, and that includes everything from classical music to musical genres of all kinds like pop, rock or soundtracks. Whatever your preferred style, Candlelight is sure to have a candlelight concert for you.
The anecdotes behind each song
Candlelight is not “only” light and live music, it is also “Oh, how interesting, I had no idea”. The professionalism of the performers is complemented by their knowledge of the artists to whom they pay tribute and their songs. Data, curious facts and anecdotes that they share with the audience between performances.
In this way, the spectators can better understand what they hear, and leave the concert knowing a little more than they did when they came in.
The variety of seasonal programs
Candlelight renews its concert programming throughout the year. But to that constant variety of artists must be added another type of concert: those created for special seasons. Christmas, Halloween, Valentine’s Day, summer… key annual moments that have their own concerts of Christmas carols, horror soundtracks, hymns of love or outdoor stages. Because a celebration is more celebration with music.
