Even though classical music concerts have traditionally been frequented by the higher classes, Candlelight has brought celebrated classical composers within reach. These are timeless artists and maestros, whose music has endured for centuries and continues to be performed and appreciated by audiences worldwide. For this reason, you can always expect spellbinding tributes to musical geniuses in the Candlelight repertoire, from Vivaldi to Beethoven.
Not just classical music
However, you can expect a long list of artists performing in a wide range of genres that receive the Candlelight treatment. From Taylor Swift and Coldplay to Umm Kulthum and Whitney Houston, you can expect everything from classical Arabic music to pop, rock and jazz.

One of the most popular reasons to attend Candlelight is without a doubt the group of classically trained musicians that perform each evening. These artists are highly skilled in their craft and effortlessly command their instruments. Due to their passion for music they are able to convey a range of emotions, from nostalgia and melancholy to joy and even tension.
