The Rise of Immersive Classical Music Experiences

The global live-entertainment platform Fever has revolutionized the way people experience classical music. Since its inception in Madrid in 2019, this innovative series has expanded to over 150 cities worldwide, transforming prestigious venues into enchanting spaces where music meets ambiance. In Columbus, the Candlelight series continues to thrive, bringing world-class performances to iconic locations like the Ohio Statehouse.Fever’s mission is clear: to make classical music accessible and appealing to a broader audience. By blending traditional concert elements with modern flair, they create an atmosphere that resonates with both seasoned concertgoers and newcomers alike. The company carefully selects each venue, ensuring that the architecture complements the candlelit ambiance and enhances the overall experience.

Music That Transcends Time and Space

One of the most remarkable aspects of the Candlelight series is its ability to transport listeners through time and space. From epic fantasy soundtracks like “Game of Thrones” and “The Lord of the Rings” to timeless classics by Coldplay, The Beatles, and Adele, the performances span a wide range of genres and eras. Each concert is thoughtfully curated to provide a seamless journey through music history, leaving audiences spellbound.The choice of repertoire is not left to chance. Fever uses data-driven metrics to identify the most popular and well-received pieces, ensuring that each performance resonates with the audience. Contemporary artists such as Taylor Swift and tributes to Queen, ABBA, and Ed Sheeran have proven particularly successful, drawing in crowds who may not typically attend classical concerts. This approach not only broadens the appeal but also introduces new listeners to the beauty of orchestral arrangements.

A Symphony of Light and Sound

The heart of the Candlelight experience lies in the interplay between light and sound. Thousands of flameless LED candles create a mesmerizing glow that transforms the venue into a magical setting. The flickering lights synchronize with the music, enhancing the emotional depth of each performance. This visual spectacle adds an extra layer of immersion, making the concerts unforgettable.In New York, Fever set a record for the largest number of candles used during a concert at the Church of the Heavenly Rest, with an astounding 16,000 candles illuminating the space. Collaborations with brands like Duracell have further elevated these events, creating breathtaking atmospheres that leave lasting impressions on attendees.

Celebrating Local Culture Through Music

What sets the Candlelight series apart is its commitment to celebrating local culture. In each city, Fever incorporates traditional instruments and musical elements unique to the region, fostering a deeper connection between the performers and the audience. This approach not only honors the cultural heritage of the area but also enriches the concert experience.For example, in Columbus, the series features performances that pay homage to neo-soul artists like Prince and Childish Gambino, as well as tributes to legendary bands like Queen and ABBA. These concerts offer a diverse array of musical styles, ensuring there is something for everyone. Whether you’re a fan of romantic classics or contemporary hits, the Candlelight series delivers an experience that transcends boundaries.
