Think of iconic places in Madrid. Take, for example, the Círculo de Bellas Artes, the Ateneo de Madrid, the Four Seasons, or the Hotel Wellington. Now imagine them covered in thousands of candles, illuminating every corner while professional musicians perform classical and not-so-classical works. But you don’t have to imagine anything, because that’s Candlelight: a way to discover the capital in the most luminous (and musical) way possible.
We know that listening to Vivaldi’s Four Seasons performed live by a string quartet is something that has been difficult to find since the 18th century. That’s why Candlelight includes concerts featuring works by timeless composers such as Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven in its program. They are classics for a reason, and listening to them is a direct journey into the history of music.

Listen to Bad Bunny’s Callaíta with the sound of a string quartet. Nothing more to say. Not all classics date back centuries, and Candlelight proves it with a varied program that includes hits from all genres, from pop and rock to flamenco and jazz, as well as soundtracks. Names such as Coldplay, ABBA, and Ludovico Einaudi are some of the iconic artists you can stop listening to on your headphones and instead enjoy by candlelight.

In addition to its regular program, the seasons highlighted on the calendar also have their own candlelight tribute. From Christmas to Halloween to Valentine’s Day, Candlelight makes December and January more festive, February more romantic, and October more terrifyingly musical.
Candlelight musicians
The program is made up of great songs, but there is no music without musicians. And in the case of Candlelight, theirs are performers with endless hours of rehearsal and experience who turn every note into a gift for the senses beyond the ear. Whether with piano, violin, or cello, it is pure magic in the form of live music.
Interesting facts and fascinating anecdotes
In addition to knowing how to perform each song with the emotion and magic it deserves, the musicians also know the story behind each song. That’s why, between performances, they share anecdotes, fun facts, and information about each piece with the audience. Listening to live music has something that moves us, but knowing the story behind what moves us is something that enhances the experience (even more).
