Having captivated over a hundred major cities worldwide, Candlelight concerts offer a unique cultural experience in Romania as well. The concept of the event series is simple yet unforgettable: in carefully selected, imposing buildings—monumental palaces, churches, and theaters—the warm glow of thousands of candles illuminates the space while professional classical musicians, string quartets, or solo pianists perform the most famous melodies.

The program features classical evergreens (like Vivaldi's Four Seasons) as well as hits from modern pop and rock icons—including Queen, ABBA, Coldplay, Imagine Dragons, Ed Sheeran, and Michael Jackson—while the most famous movie soundtracks (Hans Zimmer, The Lord of the Rings) also come to life in a new acoustic setting. In Romania, Candlelight evenings are regularly organized in six major cities: Bucharest, Iași, Constanța, Brașov, Cluj-Napoca, and Timișoara.
