From tributes to classical music legends like Vivaldi and Tchaikovsky to contemporary stars, such as Taylor Swift, Queen and Coldplay, there’s a Candlelight concert for everyone.
Aberdeen is known for its granite production, reflected in its buildings and landmarks. Soon, however, it will also be synonymous with intimate candlelit performances, filled with magic and mystery. This season’s Candlelight venues will be the historic St Machar’s Cathedral, Sandman Signature Aberdeen Hotel & Spa, and the stunning Union Kirk will be bathing in a mesmerising glow of flickering light for these unforgettable evenings that invite everyone to unwind, sit back, and let the music sing.
