Gothenburg, 20 June 2023 - Fever, the live entertainment platform known for helping millions of people discover the best experiences in their cities,  brings the Candlelight Concerts to Gothenburg with a series of special performances. This classical concert series kicks off in September with concerts that reimagine Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, and the greatest hits of Coldplay and Hans Zimmer. This expansion to the region comes on the heels of the experience’s success, having delighted audiences in more than 150 cities worldwide, including Stockholm, Copenhagen, and  Madrid.

The first concerts will see Auktionsverket Kulturarena illuminated by thousands of candles, allowing viewers to fully immerse themselves in an adapted programme starting on 17 September onwards. The varied setlists enable a broader audience -that might have never considered a classical music concert before- to connect with the genre of classical music and delight in the most iconic pieces of the greatest composers as well as the top hits of well-known artists in a different way. 

The Candlelight concept is particularly renowned for taking classical concerts out of opera houses and concert halls and into unique venues that are part of each city's cultural heritage: Auktionsverket Kulturarena, serving as a vibrant hub for artistic expression, community engagement and cultural exchange exuding both historical charm and modern flair, is therefore a perfect fit. In 2014, Auktionsverket Kulturarena underwent a remarkable transformation, turning the old auction house, originally built in 1892, into a versatile and captivating multi-functional cultural space. Now, Gothenburgers may enjoy Vivaldi’s Four Seasons at this historic venue, as well as classical renditions of Coldplay on strings and Hans Zimmer’s film music from award-winning movies such as Inception, Interstellar and The Lion King.   

Candlelight Concerts are a series of original music concerts created by Fever aimed at democratizing access to culture by allowing people all over the world to enjoy live music performances played by local musicians in various stunning locations illuminated by thousands of candles.

This concept was initially conceived as a classical music series with concerts featuring works from the greatest composers, such as Vivaldi, Mozart, and Chopin. Now, the ever-growing list of programs includes a wide variety of themes and genres, including tributes to contemporary artists like Queen, ABBA, Coldplay, and Ed Sheeran, as well as shows dedicated to K-Pop, movie soundtracks and many more. This multi-sensory experience has also evolved to feature different elements, such as ballet dancers or aerial performers, as well as other genres, such as jazz, soul, opera, flamenco and more.
