Candlelight concerts set to reimagine classical music this June

The Four Seasons in Mumbai will resonate with the anthems of Coldplay played by a local string quartet on June 15, July 19, and August 17

Candlelight Concerts, known for organising intimate series of multi-sensory live musical experiences, is all set to captivate India with the first performances in the country, happening in Mumbai, New Delhi and Faridabad from June 2024.

Produced by Live Your City, a brand under the American company Fever Labs Inc., Candlelight Concerts are a series of original music concerts aimed at democratising access to classical music by allowing people all over the world to enjoy live music performances in an intimate setting illuminated by thousands of candles.

The concerts line-up - starting in June across Mumbai and Delhi and getting to Faridabad in July- is a captivating blend of classical and contemporary music to cater to diverse musical preferences. Grand Hyatt Mumbai will host the India premiere with "Best Movie Soundtracks" on June 2. Music connoisseurs who miss the premiere will have another opportunity to experience the soundtracks on July 13 and August 4. The Four Seasons in Mumbai will resonate with the anthems of Coldplay played by a local string quartet on June 15, July 19, and August 17.

Delhi's audiences can look forward to a classic musical journey with the elegance of "From Mozart to Chopin" at the SRCPA on June 14, July 12, and August 9. The same venue will reverberate to "Best Movie Soundtracks" on June 28, July 26, and August 23, while Le Meridien will come alive with the vibrant energy of Coldplay's iconic hits reinterpreted with classical instruments on June 16, July 6, and August 16. These Candlelight Concert programs will also reach the Radisson Blu Hotel in Faridabad from July 5.

Rachid Elameri, Regional General Manager of MENA, APAC & India, Live Your City said, "Candlelight concerts's mission is to democratise access to classical music while working with unique spaces that are part of each city's cultural heritage, giving visibility to talented local artists, and bringing a wide variety of programs to attend local audiences' expectations and meet all tastes. We believe that the Candlelight Concerts will resonate deeply with Indian audiences, who have a rich appreciation for art, culture, and music".

Previously, Candlelight Concerts have been hosted in offbeat locations, spanning modern rooftops with great views to iconic cathedrals, palaces, libraries, gardens and more. Amongst the most iconic of these locations have been the Atomium in Belgium, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah in Dubai, among others. This is the first time that these unique experiences are being held in India.
