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.
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 Candlelight programme in question.
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, as well as some of the most well-known soundtracks.
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.
