Thousands of candles illuminate every concert location
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. Especially, thanks to the incredible venues like the the Odd Fellow Palace.
Classical music for every ear
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.
Not just classical 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, as well as some of the most well-known soundtracks.
Candlelight concerts for every season
Whether it’s Valentine’s Day, Halloween, Christmas, or even the arrival of spring, Candlelight celebrates these special moments with themed tributes inspired by their sounds—from carols and love anthems to spooky tunes and spaces adorned with spring flowers. Plus, with two performances each evening, one earlier and one later, you can choose the time that suits you best.
Candlelight 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.
Fun facts and fascinating anecdotes
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 Candlelight programme in question.
