Candlelight series of live concerts, presented by Fever and designed to democratize access to classical music, returns to Derry's St Columb's Cathedral.
Starting in October, St Columb's Cathedral will be transformed into an intimate setting illuminated by thousands of candles to host the first series of performances, kicking off with tributes to ABBA and Coldplay.
Already enjoyed by millions across more than 150 cities worldwide, including London, Paris, and Madrid, Candlelight brings classical music to life in extraordinary spaces beyond traditional concert halls.
In Derry, St Columb's Cathedral offers an ideal atmosphere for this unique experience, where the connection between performers and audience is heightened by the warm, flickering glow of candlelight.
Candlelight collaborates with talented local musicians who share the belief that classical music can resonate with a broader audience.
This innovative format offers a unique musical experience through a diverse selection of programs designed to cater all tastes. Candlelight appeals to a wide range of attendees, including those who might never have considered attending a classical music concert.
In an intimate candlelit setting, audiences can immerse themselves in the timeless masterpieces of composers like Vivaldi, Mozart, and Chopin, while also experiencing fresh, reimagined interpretations of popular hits from artists such as Queen, ABBA, Coldplay, and Ed Sheeran.
