Classical music for all ears
Candlelight, in its early days, brought the most outstanding works of classical music to Mexico City, and that remains its main goal. That’s why it always seeks to pay tribute to figures such as Vivaldi, Mozart, and Tchaikovsky, among others, who manage to provoke something unique in the audience that is difficult to explain.
Not just classical music
In addition to classical music, Candlelight experiments with various genres in its varied tributes. From pop to rock, jazz, and traditional Mexican music. This makes the international series of candlelight concerts an endless experience. No two Candlelight concerts are the same. Queen, Taylor Swift, José Alfredo Jiménez, Bad Bunny, Michael Jackson, and José José. There is music for all tastes!
