While many people often associate classical music with formality combined with a bit of stuffiness, the folks at Candlelight Concerts have set out to change the way you think about live music.
Now offered in more than 150 cities worldwide, the multi-sensory concerts produced by Fever are designed to adjust your thinking about classical music.
The innovative format performed by local musicians features a spectacular candlelit setting illuminated by thousands of candles.
Since launching, millions of audience members have attended their breathtaking classical music concerts that feature everything from classic composers like Vivaldi, Mozart, and Chopin to fun interpretations from artists like Queen, ABBA, Coldplay, and Ed Sheeran.
An enchanting hour-long performance recently held at the First Presbyterian Church of West Palm Beach featured popular 80s rock anthems by a string quartet, performing Africa’s “Toto,” The Police’s “Every Breath You Take,” and “I’m Still Standing” by Elton John.
The performers explained each set, prepared the audience what to expect next, and offered some background information on each of beautifully crafted songs. Other songs included in the magical evening’s performance included “Everywhere” by Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall,” U2’s “With Or Without You,” and “Sweet Child O’ Mine” by Guns n’ Roses.
The candlelit location made the evening so special, featuring hundreds of non-flame candles surrounding the sanctuary.
Providing a breathtaking yellow hue, the flickering candles offered a mesmerizing setting. Many of the shows have two performances held on the same day - mid-evening and night – and offer three different seating selections of varying prices. Seating here is on a first-come, first-served basis, so be sure to arrive early to ensure a good view.
Whether you enjoy classical symphonies or prefer more modern hits, there is something for everyone here.
From the stunning venues illuminated by the warm glow of candles to the beautiful performances and diverse musical repertoire, the Candlelight concert series offers a memorable evening in a unique format you won’t soon forget.
Candlelight Concerts will continue to illuminate West Palm Beach with a variety of concerts scheduled this spring.
