Featured Candlelight Concerts
A Tribute to Hans Zimmer at the Manitoba Museum
The German composer is perhaps best known for his immense contribution to films, creating and producing the soundtracks of some of the biggest box office successes in the last few decades. Hans Zimmer’s exhilarating music blends elements of electronic music with traditional orchestral arrangements, refreshing to enjoy under the glow of candles.
And where better to hear the sounds of Inception, Interstellar and Dunkirk than Manitoba Museum? It is the largest, not-for-profit centre for heritage and science learning in the Winnipeg area. The performance will take place at its extensive Planetarium, which normally features immersive multimedia shows that recreate our world and space as we know it. Open to all ages, this exciting location marked the opening of Candlelight concerts in the area!
The Music of Taylor Swift at the Fort Garry Hotel
Winnipeg is already familiar with the work of Taylor Swift, having performed there at the start of her career. Nevertheless, Swifties better get ready for a concert tribute to their beloved pop singer like they’ve never seen before. Featured songs include “Lavender Haze”, “Love Story”, “Cardigan”, “Blank Space”, and more.
The concert’s location will be home to the many Candlelight offerings in Winnipeg. The Fort Garry is a century-old architectural jewel, filled in decadent glamour. Its breathtaking 10-feet ceilings and gorgeous amenities make for the ideal Candlelight venue—oozing charm and class.
