Suppose there’s someone special in your life who has already said, “I Want to Hold Your Hand”, or a new love interest with whom you can see yourself being ‘Happy Together’, and you’re planning to celebrate Valentine’s Day together. In that case, the Candlelight concert series has a very tempting offer to make: a love-themed concert. A Candlelight Valentine’s Day concert in Helsinki looks like thousands of candles casting their romantic glow across the rough edges of a treasured venue, while a string ensemble performs songs by the music world’s very own cupids, from Elvis Presley to Debussy. It’s an unmissable, passionate affair that solves any anxious lover’s V-Day gift dilemma.
Candlelight Valentine’s: Romantic Classics
Prolong your Valentine’s Day celebrations this year with a concert that would make Shakespeare swoon, taking place on February 13. The very talented Bålder Quartet will present some of love’s greatest hits at Temppeliaukio Church—a venue in the heart of Helsinki and carved into solid rock.
The perfect opportunity for stolen glances, hand-holding, and lingering gazes, the performance features Morricone’s “Love Theme” from Cinema Paradiso, Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love”, Gardel’s “Por Una Cabeza” from Scent of a Woman, and more. Get caught up in the magic of a candlelit concert this February.
You don’t have to say “I love you” this Valentine’s Day, but with tickets to a Candlelight performance, you’re still saying something—and it’s something special. A concert inspired by some of the most heartfelt and passionate melodies, backed by a sea of candles and carried by a string quartet, is likely to be a hit even among the most anti-V-Day souls. While roses and chocolates are a safe bet, a one-of-a-kind live music experience trumps the ordinary.
