Sure, we’ve all experienced a live concert starring state-of-the-art lighting systems and creating an impact with special effects. However, Candlelight likes to keep things simple—after all, less is more. This original concert series taking over major cities worldwide relies on the warm glow of thousands of candles to illuminate the finest venues for spellbinding performances. And if you’re still on the fence about securing your spot, we’ve compiled a list of seven reasons to attend a Candlelight concert.
1. The unbeatable atmosphere
At a Candlelight concert, music lovers come together to appreciate some of their favourite music in a new light. The combination of a candlelit setting and soothing melodies creates an enchanting atmosphere. Whether you come with family or friends, or even for a date, you’ll find yourself fully immersed in every moving note and flicker of candlelight for a relaxing evening out in the city.
2. The musicians
Depending on the Candlelight concert you choose, a professional pianist, classically trained ensemble, singer, saxophonist, and more could be performing. Not only do these musicians possess the incredible ability to make the familiar sound brand new, but they also do so with an unwavering degree of professionalism.
3. Tickets at a reasonable price
Candlelight performances are part of Fever’s mission to “democratize access to culture and entertainment.” With this spirit in mind, you’ll see several options when purchasing your tickets. Depending on the zone you select and how close you wish to be to the stage, you can enjoy a tribute concert for about 197kr.
4. Rave reviews
Countless 5-star reviews from attendees who have experienced the mesmerising performances in Copenhagen confirm some of these undeniable reasons to attend a Candlelight concert.
“This was a fantastic experience with absolutely amazing music.” – A Tribute to Queen
“It was a wonderful experience! Will definitely be coming back for more.” – Vivaldi’s Four Seasons
“Amazing performance.” – 100 Years of Warner Bros.
“Thank you very much for this magic!” – The Best of Joe Hisaishi
5. Stories that inspire
Part of what makes legendary music so special are the stories that come with every song, artist, and composer. As well as reintroducing audiences to some of the greatest works and hits of all time, guests can expect to be told some interesting anecdotes, facts, or details surrounding related to the programme in question.
6. Honouring the classics
The Candlelight series has paid tribute to the eternal compositions of great composers such as Vivaldi, Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart. What better way to appreciate breathtaking works than in the traditional light of candles? This candlelit experience wouldn’t seem out of place in the 18th century. Travel back in time while listening to classical pieces at an extraordinary venue.
7. Celebrating contemporary music
On top of bringing classical music into the 21st century, Candlelight is reimagining contemporary music in the classical form. Taylor Swift’s early country hits and synth-pop tracks, Coldplay’s piano-driven songs, and ABBA’s catchy beats are some of the more modern melodies being recreated at these spellbinding concerts.
What more needs to be said? Attending a Candlelight concert is undoubtedly one of the best things to do in Copenhagen, especially if you like trying new things. You’ll get to reacquaint yourself with beloved artists while discovering some of the city’s striking venues.
