In an enchanting fusion of music, culture, and light, Candlelight, the renowned live concert series by Fever, is set to honour iconic French artists in a spectacular event at Sofitel Dubai The Palm Resort & Spa this weekend.
The special evening promises a mesmerising journey through the rich legacy of French music, from the timeless melodies of Edith Piaf to the contemporary rhythms of Aya Nakamura.
Guests will be treated to an extraordinary performance by the Gulf String Quartet, which will bring to life legendary pieces such as La Vie en Rose, La Bohème, and Ella, elle l’a, alongside more modern hits.
Set against a backdrop illuminated by thousands of flickering candles, the event will offer a truly immersive and intimate experience.
The programme will feature two sessions – at 6:30 PM and 9:00 PM. Additionally, a gourmet post-concert dinner will be available, showcasing a finely crafted menu with exquisite food and sparkling French pairings, including vegetarian and soft drinks options.
This Dubai event forms part of a broader series hosted at prestigious Sofitel hotels in cities such as Marseille, Mexico City, and Los Angeles. Each venue embodies the spirit of Candlelight’s partnership with Sofitel, celebrating France’s heritage and the hotels’ distinctive ‘Candle Rituals’, inspired by Paris’s historical role as the “City of Lights.”
Candlelight concerts are designed to make classical music accessible to a wider audience. Beyond traditional compositions by Mozart, Chopin, and Vivaldi, the series creatively reimagines hits from modern pop icons like ABBA, Queen, and Ed Sheeran. Since its inception, Candlelight has enthralled millions across more than 150 cities worldwide.
