In Brussels, classical music steps out of conventional venues to make its way into places where it isn’t always expected. By candlelight, Candlelight transforms iconic venues such as the Planetarium of the Royal Observatory of Belgium or the refined Concert Noble into true timeless havens. Here, the architecture serves not merely as a backdrop: it becomes an integral part of the musical experience. By blending the classical repertoire with contemporary tributes, Candlelight broadens Brussels’ cultural landscape and invites you to experience music in a new way, in an intimate, enveloping, almost intimate atmosphere, to rediscover the city to the rhythm of strings and flickering flames.
