The year’s pages are turning in a blur but there’s no need for concern. As the year moves on, the enchanting Candlelight concerts in Singapore not only continue to celebrate fan favourites, but are also set to bring new additions to the mix, paying tribute to rock legends such as Metallica, classical composers like Vivaldi, and iconic film composers, among others. As classically trained musicians serenade you with familiar tunes, you’ll be surrounded by thousands of candles inside the city’s best spaces.
As expected, intimate and extraordinary atmospheres will continue to be created at beautiful and unique Candlelight venues in Singapore, including a multi-disciplinary arts venue, The Chamber at The Arts House and the historic CHIJMES Hall, among others. There are more to come so watch this space.
And why not give the gift of experience this year for a special birthday or other special occasion? A Candlelight gift card is the perfect present for a family member, close friend, or significant other.
