Featured Candlelight Concerts in Adelaide
Candlelight: Vivaldi Four Seasons
Initially created to give a musical description to the four changing periods of the year, Vivaldi’s most famous violin concerti The Four Seasons have now become a classical music staple that practically everyone on earth knows and loves.
This season, you can hear the joyous melodies of “Spring”, followed by the slower-paced “Summer”, hinting at the season’s sluggish nature caused by the heat. Then, there comes “Autumn” with happy celebrations of a bountiful harvest and dynamic hunting rituals, only to be succeeded by “Winter’s” icy weather, harsh winds and chill. It’s a musical journey through time and you can experience it at The Capri Theatre.
Candlelight: A Tribute to Taylor Swift
An enchanting evening of Taylor Swift songs is coming to spread some lavender haze to The Meeting Hall. “Anti-Hero”, “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart”, “All Too Well” and more merry songs will be performed by the Collective string quartet as a sea of candles twinkle and flicker. Immerse yourself in a magical plan that celebrates one of the most iconic and influential artists with live music and light.
Candlelight: Best of Fleetwood Mac
As a special treat for Fleetwood Mac fans, Candlelight will bring the bands’ stellar discographies to this magical evening. Thousands of candles will flicker away inside The Meeting Hall as a string quartet works their magic on songs such as “Dreams”, “The Chain”, “You Make Lovin Fun” and “Little Lies”. Everything’s set for this dazzling concert to be an experience to remember, and you won’t want to miss out.
