They landed in Seville a few years ago and, since then, Candlelight concerts have filled with live music and thousands of candles many of the most special scenarios of the Andalusian capital. A success that has illuminated Seville and the faces of all its attendees thanks to their tributes to music milestones such as Coldplay, Queen or ABBA.
But despite its reviews and success, there are still those who are not convinced to give Candlelight a chance. For those undecided people, we’ve put together eight reasons why it’s worth going to a Candlelight concert. Promise, it ‘s a blast.
1. Classical music tributes
The goal of Candlelight, since its inception, has been to bring classical music to all audiences. Regardless of their age, economic situation and even location.
That is why among its varied programs we always find tributes to Vivaldi or Tchaikovsky. A precious approach to classical music that aims to demonstrate that this genre is suitable for everyone.
2. The wide program of concerts
In addition to classical music, over time, Candlelight has been introducing new tributes to their billboard. For example, in addition to tributes to classical composers, we currently find genres as varied as flamenco, rock, jazz or pop, with tributes to Enrique Morente, Queen, Nina Simone or La Oreja de Van Gogh.
And more to come! Candlelight is always innovating and looking to create new tributes and new formats. What’s next? Any suggestions?
3. The atmosphere generated
Candlelight ‘s concert venues become a magnificent sea of lights that envelop the artists and all the attendees to create an unparalleled atmosphere. In addition to the magic of listening to a live concert, there is the experience of doing it in the warmest and most intimate way possible.
Have you ever been surrounded by candles and felt that peace? If lighting a single candle from the supermarket already improves our mood to the max, imagine the effect of being enveloped by hundreds and hundreds of points of light. You won’t want to miss it.
4. The range of tickets and their different prices
Earlier we mentioned that the goal of Candlelight, from the beginning, was to bring classical music to all audiences. And also pockets.
The Candlelight concert series offers different types of tickets, at different prices, suitable for all budgets. From 20 euros in most cases, you can enjoy a magnificent one-hour concert. Not bad, right?
5. The talent of its artists
We always talk about the fact that the musicians who are part of the Candlelight concerts are true professionals who have years and years of training, experience and improvement behind them. And it is true, with their smooth movements they manage to thrill small or large audiences.
However, in Candlelight concerts we can also find other artists such as ballet dancers, flamenco dancers, jazz musicians or soul singers. An incredible line-up that makes its programming as varied as it is talented.
6. The places where it is celebrated
In addition to the music and candles, the locations of Candlelight concerts are also one of its main attractions. And more so in Seville, whose buildings and spaces are as beautiful as they are historic.
From the Casa Salinas or the Aquarium of Seville to the Hospital de los Venerables. Candlelight concerts in the Andalusian capital are lucky enough to flood incredible spaces with light and live music.
In addition to those mentioned above, each season new spaces and new shows are added to the Candlelight roster. An endless number of tributes and places that are worth discovering at least once in a lifetime.
