Classical music in a new guise: At the romantic candlelight concerts you not only listen to a musical example of craftsmanship, the room is also illuminated with thousands of candles for extra atmosphere.

This concept has been part of Rotterdam for some time now, where you are magically introduced to classical music at various locations. This summer, SS Rotterdam is planned as the location for this enlightening spectacle.

Tributes

The concept of candlelight concerts provides a unique live music experience through a varied offering.

Originally, Candlelight was reserved for classical music, with concerts dedicated to the works of the best composers, such as Vivaldi and Chopin. Today, however, this music list has expanded to include many different themes and genres, such as tributes to artists such as Queen, ABBA, Coldplay and Ed Sheeran. Concerts dedicated to anime, film soundtracks and other interesting themes are also featured. As a result, this concept attracts a wide audience who enjoy the impressive talents of the musicians.

No traditional locations

The candlelight concerts do not focus on traditional music halls or concert halls, but rather unique and accessible locations that are a major part of the city. For example, the Arminius Church was previously illuminated, and this summer the ship SS Rotterdam will be the setting for this magical performance.
