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, the Candlelight lineup always features tributes to great composers such as Mozart, Vivaldi, or Tchaikovsky. An absolute must-see.
Not Just Classical Music
In addition to the 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 time. Tributes to artists like Adele or Coldplay, and to genres such as pop, bolero, rock, or jazz. Even soundtracks. Candlelight has room for practically everything!
Candlelight Concerts for Every Season
Christmas carols at Christmas, Mexican classics for the Day of the Dead, concerts among wildflowers in spring, and outdoor stages in summer. At Candlelight, the music adapts to special occasions, just as ticket prices cater to all budgets. The most affordable tickets cost no more than 500 MX$.
Candlelight Musicians
The talent of the artists performing in Monterrey’s many Candlelight concerts is undeniable. After years of training and experience, the Madero Quartet —which often provides the musical highlight of the city’s cultural scene—proves its worth night after night, thrilling dozens of audience members at every performance. Without a doubt, Candlelight is synonymous with talent.
