Candlelight candle concerts
You’re already familiar with the innovative concept of Candlelight, these candlelit concerts that dust off the classical repertoire and bring it up to date. Chopin, Vivaldi’s 4 Seasons… The greatest classical composers are thus brought to light, but not only! The most beautiful soundtracks by Ludovico Einaudi, Hans Zimmer, or those of Zelda, rock or pop stars, from Queen to Daft Punk… Always lit by thousands of candles and in the most iconic locations in Paris. In short, there’s bound to be a Candlelight concert for you!
