The Hague is home to the Cabinet, the States General, the Supreme Court and the Council of State of the Netherlands.

And in October 2022, The Hague welcomes Candlelight, the series of enchanting candlelit concerts that have been charming audiences in cities around the world.
Beginning with Waalse Kerk Den Haag, the light of thousands of candles will lend their gentle glow to create intimate and extraordinary atmospheres in some of the city’s most emblematic buildings. The concerts, which have proved immensely popular, are unforgettable experiences and make for a night out quite unlike any other.
Be enchanted by Candlelight in The Hague—get tickets to upcoming concerts here.
Concerts by Candlelight begin in The Hague with spellbinding evenings of classical music. Some of the city’s most talented classical musicians will take to the stage inside the historic Waalse Kerk Den Haag and, with the light dancing off the walls, will envelop audiences with the sounds of Mozart and Vivaldi.
The first performance presents Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, without a doubt one of music history’s most storied compositions. As light flickers, selections of the four violin concertos will fill the hall—from spring to summer, autumn to winter, the seasons will come to life.
Experience Vivaldi in a new light on Friday 28 October.
Mozart follows suit with a string quartet reimagining compositions from Requiem in D Minor, K 626, his final work. Although begun for another and not fully completed before he passed away at the age of 35, Requiem was willed into existence by Mozart in his final days and grapples with the mystery of death. The candlelit concert will also feature another Mozart masterpiece, Serenade No. 13 for Strings in G Major – “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik”.
Take a seat for Mozart’s Requiem on Saturday 29 October.
Waalse Kerk Den Haag will be glowing and the light of hundreds of candles will illuminate the white-walled and elevated-ceiling church as a string quartet takes to their instruments. The Candlelight concerts take place twice each night with two back-to-back 60-65 minute performances.
The charming concerts are perfect for romantic rendezvous, dates with friends and outings with your favourite people. Or, if you’re just looking to get lost in the sound of beautiful music in a unique venue, they’re phenomenal for that too.
