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 be enjoyed by young and old, men and women. For this reason, Candlelight’s line-up always includes tributes to great composers such as Mozart, Vivaldi or Tchaikovsky. An absolute must.
Not only classical music
In addition to classical tributes, almost always performed by an ensemble made up of violins, viola and cello, Candlelight’s program includes tributes to songs and musicians much closer to our times. Tributes to artists such as Queen or Coldplay, and to genres such as pop, bolero, rock or jazz, and even soundtracks. Candlelight has room for practically everything!
Candlelight concerts for every season
Christmas carols at Christmas, Mexican classics for Day of the Dead, concerts amidst wildflowers in spring and open-air stages in summer. At Candlelight, the music adapts to the special dates, just as the ticket prices adapt to all budgets. The cheapest ticket costs no more than MX$175. That’s great, isn’t it?
