MUMBAI: Imagine being surrounded by thousands of flickering candles, immersed in soul-stirring music, and sharing the moment with someone special. Reminiscent of the enchanting lantern scene from Tangled, Bengaluru’s Candlelight Concerts bring a dreamlike experience to life at PVR Superplex, Forum Mall, Kanakapura Road.
A collaboration between Live Your City and PVR INOX, these concerts aim to make classical music more accessible, offering audiences a multisensory delight. Under the soft glow of countless candles, attendees can lose themselves in mesmerizing live performances. “A candlelit setting feels more personal and magical, creating a deep connection with the audience. The atmosphere enhances the music’s emotional impact,” shares Raj Tamhankar, the pianist.
Breaking away from traditional concert halls, this global series transforms intimate venues worldwide—from historic cathedrals in England and theaters in Finland to Melbourne’s public squares and Alpine cabins in Italy. In India, the setting is just as immersive. Deepa Bajaj, country manager for Live Your City, India, explains, “Our venues stand out for their historic significance, unique ambiance, and impeccable acoustics.”
The concert promises a rich musical journey, featuring classical masterpieces by Vivaldi, Mozart, and Chopin, alongside beloved hits from Queen, ABBA, Coldplay, and Ed Sheeran. Indian music legends like R.D. Burman, A.R. Rahman, and S.P. Balasubrahmanyam are also celebrated in these spellbinding performances.
Don’t miss this unforgettable evening of music and candlelight.
