Spring is all about new beginnings. When the season comes around, we put those cold winter nights behind us and look to the future for a fresh start, and so too does Mother Nature. Flowers bloom, trees bud and animals awaken from their lengthy slumber. In keeping with the season, the Candlelight Spring concert series will be blossoming in the city to offer a new perspective on the music you know and love with the help of talented musicians, thousands of candles and a gorgeous floral display.
What is Candlelight Spring?
Featuring spectacular flower arrangements, Candlelight Spring is a series of unique candlelit concerts that pay homage to some of music’s biggest stars. As musicians take to the stage, they’re immediately surrounded by hundreds of faux flowers that appear to sprout from the stage. The soft flicker of candlelight illuminates the vibrant flowery display, transforming the performance space into an enchanting setting that embodies the magic of springtime.
Not only are these magnificent concerts a celebration of musical icons, but they also honour the rich colours that the blossoming season brings. Among a sea of green grasses, flowers with purple tones, yellow tinges, shades of red and more will be meticulously arranged on stage to give the appearance of wildflowers in bloom. Accompanied by the glow of candlelight, this floral scene provides a breathtaking backdrop for these wondrous musical performances.
Candlelight Spring concerts
Candlelight Spring brings a harmony of bright floral colours and soothing sounds to the city to shine a light on a host of iconic artists and genres. From string quartets to solo pianists, gifted musicians work their magic on contemporary pop songs, classical compositions, famous soundtracks and more at these candlelit tributes that make for the perfect springtime treat for both the eyes and ears.
Each concert takes place over the course of 60 minutes and doors usually open 45 minutes prior to the concert start time. There’ll be two concerts each evening, so you can choose which show suits you best.
