Classical music for all ears
The Candlelight concert series was born with the idea of bringing classical music to all audiences, demonstrating that classical works can appeal to young and old, men and women alike. For this reason, Candlelight’s program always includes tributes to great composers such as Mozart, Vivaldi, and Tchaikovsky. An absolute must.
Not just classical music
In addition to classical tributes, almost always performed by an ensemble of violins, viola, and cello, the Candlelight program includes tributes to songs and musicians much closer to our times. Tributes to artists such as Queen and Coldplay, and to genres such as pop, bolero, rock, and jazz. Even soundtracks. Candlelight has room for just about everything!
Candlelight concerts for every season
Christmas carols at Christmas, Mexican classics for Day of the Dead, concerts among wildflowers in spring, and outdoor stages in summer. At Candlelight, the music adapts to special dates, just as ticket prices adapt to all budgets. The cheapest ticket costs no more than 175 MX$. Great, right?
Candlelight musicians
The talent of the artists who participate in the many Candlelight concerts in Monterrey is undeniable. After years of training and experience, the Madero Quartet —which often provides the musical backdrop to the city’s experience—proves its worth night after night, thrilling dozens of spectators at each session. Without a doubt, Candlelight is synonymous with talent.
Fun facts and fascinating anecdotes
Something that Candlelight attendees don’t know is that in most of the tributes, the musicians take the opportunity to chat with the audience and tell them interesting facts about the artists they are performing and their songs.
