An enchanting Candlelight concert is already a great way to spend the evening thanks to the warm atmosphere created by the flickering sea of candles. But a Candlelight Orchestra performance elevates the typical Candlelight experience, allowing the audience to connect with the music on a whole new level. The sheer power and richness of sound produced by a full orchestra can be pretty breathtaking.
These shows usually light up gorgeous venues that combine architectural beauty with superb acoustics. For instance, the historic Victoria Concert Hall, home to the Singapore Symphony Orchestra, has been one of the chosen locations opening its doors to these intimate tributes by candlelight.
Candlelight’s orchestra performances often take on a diverse range of music, from popular scores and soundtracks to legendary pop and rock songs by icons in the likes of Queen. So, there’s a Candlelight Orchestra concert for everyone’s taste.
But what makes these shows even more impressive is the harmony and synchronisation of the musicians. They have undergone rigorous training and education, mastering their instruments for years and years on end. Thus, witnessing 20-30 highly skilled musicians play together under the direction of a conductor simply displays the precision and artistry of these performers.
Attending an orchestra concert as you’re surrounded by thousands and thousands of candles is a wonderful spectacle to behold. So, make sure not to miss out on the next Candlelight Orchestra tribute coming to the city.
There are typically two back-to-back performances taking place each evening, so you can choose the tribute that best fits your schedule. Each show lasts 60-65 minutes and doors open 30-45 minutes prior to the start of the concerts.
