‘Tis the season to have yourself a merry grand Christmas (with a grand piano) thanks to Candlelight Concerts. Twinkling fairy lights will be joined by the flattering glow of thousands of flickering candles at this dreamy Candlelight Christmas concert that will put you right in the holiday spirit.
On December 17 and 18, L’ Alliance Francaise will transform into a hall decked with holly, tinsel, candlelight and the cheerful tunes of pianist Aldo Dotti belting out the ultimate Christmas playlist. From pop Xmas classics like Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas and WHAM!’s Last Christmas that dominate the airwaves (and our dreams) to more traditional carols such as Silent Night and Oh Christmas Tree as well as retro hits like Frank Sinatra’s Let It Snow and Bobby Hemlm’s Jingle Bell Rock, this is a jolly playlist that is going to uncork all the warm, fuzzy festive feels and melt the hearts of even the Scrooges in your gang.
The dreamy hour-long concert is the perfect way to slip into the magic of the festive season with your loved ones. In fact, it’s a unique and thoughtful Christmas gift for friends and family who are music lovers. Granted, it’s a gift you can’t wrap up and leave under the tree but the Candlelight Christmas Concert is a memorable present that will be remembered for Christmases future.
Don’t have the patience to wait until December 17 to attend a magical Candlelight Concert? There’s a Vivaldi’s Four Seasons Candlelight Concert set to unfold at the Sheraton Mall of the Emirates on December 9 and 10. The 18th-century Italian composer and virtuoso violinist Antonio Vivaldi‘s most well-known concertos will be brought to life by an accomplished string quartet, surrounded by the soft glow of LED candles.
Four Seasons is the musician’s most famous combination of violin compositions, each of which represents the feel of a season musically – something we Dubai residents could definitely benefit from after being trapped in eternal summer.
