When December arrives, Madrid is dressed in lights, carols and that warm air that smells of roasted chestnuts. Among flea markets, snow-covered shop windows and cold evenings with the smell of cinnamon, there is a plan that captures all the Christmas spirit: the Candlelight concerts, where classical music and the great Christmas songs sound under the glow of thousands of candles.
Candlelight Christmas Concerts in Madrid
Listening to Silent Night, Joy to the World or the beginning of The Nutcracker among thousands of candles is one of those experiences you will never forget. And in Madrid, Candlelight’s Christmas concerts fuse classical pieces such as Vivaldi’s Winter of The Four Seasons or Tchaikovsky’s Waltz of the Flowers, with more modern melodies that accompany us every December, from Let It Snow! to All I Want for Christmas Is You.
All performed live by professional musicians, in an intimate atmosphere full of light capable of turning the hustle and bustle of Madrid into a real Christmas story.
Candlelight’s Christmas performances in Madrid
Candlelight’s Christmas concerts fill with music (and magic) some of the most emblematic spaces of the capital. From the majestic Pontifical Basilica of San Miguel to the elegant Four Seasons Hotel, passing through the historic Círculo de Bellas Artes, the literary Ateneo de Madrid or the solemn Ilustre Colegio Oficial de Médicos de Madrid (ICOMEM).
In all of them, the glow of candles and music come together to create a warm and festive atmosphere with melodies such as Merry Christmas, Jingle Bells or Santa Claus Is Coming To Town.
In these dates in which Madrid shines more than ever, Candlelight concerts are an invitation to stop time, breathe the Christmas spirit and let yourself be enveloped by the emotion of live music by candlelight. A meeting where every note sounds a little bit like home.
