Classical Music
Candlelight, in its beginnings, brought the most outstanding works of classical music to CDMX, and that continues to be its main goal. Therefore, it always seeks to present tributes to figures such as Vivaldi, Mozart or Tchaikovsky, among others, that manage to provoke something unique in the audience that is difficult to explain.
Current music
In addition to classical music, Candlelight experiments in its varied tributes with different genres. From pop to rock, from jazz to traditional Mexican music. This makes the international candlelight concert series an endless experience. No two Candlelight concerts will be the same. Queen, Taylor Swift, José Alfredo Jiménez, Bad Bunny, Michael Jackson or José José José – there’s music for every taste!
Curiosities
Perhaps you didn’t know this fact, but at Candlelight concerts, the musicians usually talk to the audience with the intention of livening up the evening and showing other aspects of the composer’s life or his music. A very close format from which you always come out learning something new.
Seasonal concerts
The programming is recycled with new genres, new tributes… And seasonal concerts. Whether it’s Christmas and you want to enjoy the best Christmas carols, Halloween and you feel like reliving the classics of terror, or summer and you are looking for a musical evening outdoors, there will always be a concert waiting for you.
In addition, the ticket prices are designed so that everyone can enjoy. You can experience a night of live music performed by some of the best classical musicians in the city (and in a space illuminated by thousands of candles) for only 250 pesos, a great deal!
