Six more reasons to attend Candlelight
Tributes to classical masterminds
A concert series honouring the classical form in all its glory wouldn’t be the same without some paying tribute to the classical music greats. Mozart, Chopin, Vivaldi, Bach, and Beethoven are only a few of the gifted composers and geniuses inspiring candlelit shows. If you love nothing more than getting lost in works like The Four Seasons and Piano Sonata No. 14, then you’ll be glad to discover classical tributes as one of the reasons to attend a Candlelight tribute concert.
There are even concerts inspired by contemporary music
Among the many tempting reasons for going to a Candlelight event, the more contemporary setlists certainly stand out. Modern-day hits by Coldplay, The Beatles’ well-known tracks, and much more are being reinterpreted for the classical form. The catchy, synth-pop, power metal songs you’ve become so accustomed to hearing on the radio or in your earphones sound spectacular in the hands of a string quartet or accomplished pianist.
