Music in a New Light

An Intimate Maryland Concert Series Amidst a Sea of Candles

Beyond the soft flicker of candlelight and the hush that falls before the first note, a familiar space transforms into a cinematic masterpiece, where classical musicians perform amid a sea of glowing candles. The experience feels suspended in time, a convergence of sound, space and light that lingers long after the final bow.

Unlike grand orchestral productions, Candlelight Concerts are intentionally small and personal. Musicians connect with audiences close enough to catch the movement of the bow, creating a shared sense of wonder that makes every performance feel like a secret rediscovered. Each concert invites guests to experience beloved music from Vivaldi to Coldplay, in a setting that blurs the line between concert and dreamscape.

Candlelight was created with the vision of making music more accessible by bringing it to unique venues beyond traditional concert halls. The result is a visually stunning, intimate experience that illuminates both the music and the moment.

This season, give the gift of music. The official Candlelight gift card is now available for purchase, redeemable at any event across the United States. And during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, select concerts worldwide will be available at special discounted rates for the perfect opportunity to treat friends and family to a one-of-a-kind live experience that truly shines.
