Candlelight Concerts: Illuminating Music by Candlelight

The Magic of Candlelight

Candlelight® concerts, a Fever Originals series, are designed to democratize access to classical music. These live performances take place in historic venues illuminated by thousands of candles, offering an immersive and intimate experience. From classical masterpieces to modern-day hits, Candlelight reimagines the concert format for a new generation of music lovers.

  • Candlelit Ambience: Venues glow with the warmth of hundreds of LED candles.
  • Iconic Venues: Performances are hosted in architecturally and historically significant locations.
  • Local Musicians: Skilled local artists bring each performance to life.
  • Diverse Repertoire: From Vivaldi to Coldplay, the setlist spans centuries and genres.
  • Broad Appeal: A relaxed format makes concerts accessible to all, including newcomers to classical music.

Immersive Venues & Atmosphere

Each Candlelight show is designed to dazzle the senses. Picture grand ballrooms or Gothic churches lit solely by candlelight. The ambiance is warm, magical, and visually stunning. Audience members often find themselves humming along, enchanted by the glow and the music.

Why It Works

  • The venues are carefully chosen for their beauty and acoustics.
  • The candlelit setting transforms each location into a performance piece itself.
  • Guests are encouraged to immerse themselves, often snapping photos of the spectacle.

A Playlist for Every Taste

Candlelight concerts offer a musical smorgasbord. While the series started with classical performances, the program has since expanded dramatically. Expect everything from Vivaldi and Chopin to string versions of Taylor Swift or jazz tributes to Charlie Brown Christmas.

  • Classical staples like Mozart's symphonies and Beethoven's sonatas
  • Pop tributes featuring Queen, Coldplay, ABBA, and more
  • Film scores, K-pop covers, and holiday specials
  • Programs that may also feature ballet or aerial performances

Since its 2019 launch in Madrid, Candlelight has expanded to more than 150 cities across six continents, delighting millions of guests. Fever’s use of data-driven curation and visual storytelling has helped Candlelight become a global music phenomenon.

  • Now present in over 150 cities worldwide
