The Most Atmospheric Way to Hear Live Music

Like a fireplace on a cold winter's night, Fever's Candlelight concerts offer a cosy escape from the outside world, one flicker at a time! The concert series has illuminated over 100 venues worldwide, partnering with local artists in each city to reshape perceptions of classical music.

Whether it's a solo pianist performing the hits of Adele or a string quartet taking on the discography of Taylor Swift - there's a reason why these concerts have become one of the most popular live music events in recent years. Here's why you should get yourself down to a Candlelight concert!

A Modern Twist

While classical compositions by composers such as Antonio Vivaldi, Ludwig van Beethoven and Frederic Chopin are staples of the series, Candlelight concerts have also gained recognition for their glowing reinterpretations of modern artists including Taylor Swift, Coldplay, Queen, ABBA and Bad Bunny. It's a little like your favourite episode of Bridgerton!

Breathtaking Venues

Rather than being limited to traditional concert halls, Candlelight concerts take place in churches, historic buildings, museums, theaters and other unique locations. Around the world, the series has staged performances in iconic settings ranging from venues near the Eiffel Tower and Niagara Falls to cultural landmarks in major cities across Europe, North America, Asia and Australia.

What To Expect

A typical Candlelight programme focuses on a single artist, theme or genre. One evening might celebrate the works of Hans Zimmer or Joe Hisaishi, while another explores the music of Fleetwood Mac, Adele or beloved film soundtracks. Seasonal events are also staged throughout the year, with special performances over Valentine's Day, Halloween and the festive season.

Staff Review

"Soul by Candlelight felt really special from the start. Everything felt calmer and more personal than your usual gig - no pushing or shoving guaranteed! The string quartet did an incredible job with Adele's discography - it was all very stripped back and intimate. Someone Like You in particular was a highlight. Don't think, just book! This is just as relaxing and immersive as any mindfulness retreat could ever be." - Kevin (Content Writer & Event Curator)
