Across the world, these concerts pay tribute to iconic artists as well as events devoted to K-Pop, film soundtracks and other themes. They can range from small, intimate gatherings to large-scale events in famous venues and landmarks that form part of a city’s cultural heritage. The Candlelight India concert will pay tribute to iconic artists like Taylor Swift, QUEEN, and Coldplay among others.
Whether it’s Taylor Swift’s ‘Love Story’, Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida,” Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ or ABBA’s ‘Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!’, a string quartet– swathed in the amber glow of hundreds of (flameless) candles — will deliver these popular melodies with a unique twist.
Candlelight Musical soiree
The event is known for its multisensory musical experience created with sounds that are produced in the space at architecturally beautiful buildings lit by candlelight. The ambient illumination creates an unrivalled atmosphere that breathes life into each venue. Decked in the gentle flicker of candlelight, these settings become even more stunning.
One of the interesting features of the multisensory experience is that there is no bar or merch stall at the venue. Pictures and videos are permitted before the concert begins and during a designated period during the concert. At all other times, you are expected to keep your phone away, for you don't want to miss out on experiencing the magic.
