Something that Candlelight attendees don’t know is that in most tributes, musicians take the opportunity to chat with the audience and tell them interesting facts about the artists they are performing and their songs.
5. Classically interpreted music
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.

6. Although not everything is 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 genres such as pop, bolero, rock or jazz, and even soundtracks. At Candlelight there is room for practically everything!
