Classical music shines
Despite the historic development of classical music and particularly, who could enjoy it, Candlelight is making the genre more accessible and giving it greater exposure. Classical music is stepping out into the public realm easier than ever, thanks to Candlelight’s tributes to some of the most accomplished composers. You can always expect to hear eternal compositions in Abu Dhabi, by the likes of Vivaldi, Beethoven, Händel, Puccini, and Mozart.

From tributes to rock legends like Queen and Coldplay, incredible icons like Taylor Swift to some of the most magical film scores, whatever you’re into, there’s something for everyone.
