Candlelight combines live music, distinctive venues, and candlelit atmosphere for a visually compelling Halloween story — with the added local hook of featuring musicians based in Phoenix. The appetite for that combination is measurable: according to Fever's Classical Pulse study, experiencing live music in person is the primary motivation for 54% of classical concert attendees, and 35% of U.S. respondents actively seek out immersive, unconventional ways to experience live performances — exactly the itch a haunting, candlelit Halloween program is built to scratch.
Currently showcased in hundreds of cities around the globe, including over 150 concerts across 140 cities specifically for its Halloween lineup, Candlelight® has built its Halloween programming on the same model that's broadened access to classical music year-round — distinctive venues transformed by thousands of candles and a supernatural-themed repertoire into something more atmospheric than a standard concert hall.
