Fever partners with Sofitel to bring exclusive Festive Season Candlelight concert series to unique locations

January 2024 - Fever, the live-entertainment discovery platform known for helping millions of people find the best experiences in their cities, has partnered with Sofitel, first international luxury hotel brand to originate from France, to bring an exclusive Candlelight Concert series to unique venues in Paris, New York, Sydney, Singapore and Amsterdam during the festive season. 

This exclusive series of concerts is a tribute to the unique Sofitel's Candle Ritual created in 2007. Each evening, as night falls,  an evening ceremony is held in all Sofitel global locations, inspired by the tradition of lighting up the streets of Paris, the City of Lights. A practice dating back to the era of Louis XIV immersing the elegant 120 hotels in the World in a magical and warmth atmosphere. 

Located in the heart of the French capital, between the prestigious Place de la Concorde and the mythical Champs-Elysées, Sofitel Paris Le Faubourg was the first venue to host the special event with a concert featuring seasonal soundtracks such as "Let it Snow", "Last Christmas" and more last November 21st. At Sofitel Singapore City Centre on December 8th, and at Sofitel Wentworth in Sydney, on December 21st, the two brands held a Christmas Special Love Actually, Home Alone & more. The Sofitel New York Hotel was illuminated by the candlelit setting on December 21st to host a special performance featuring ‘The Nutcracker’ and other Tchaikovsky redemptions and more. And the final show of this series happened in Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam on January 6th, paying tribute to Hans Zimmer’s best works. All performances included a sweet and savory 3-course dinner.

Candlelight Concerts are a series of original music concerts created by Fever, which aim to democratize access to classical music. This innovative format provides a unique live musical experience, offering a variety of programs to meet all tastes, played by local musicians, in emblematic venues, with the performance spaces and performers illuminated by thousands of candles.

Candlelight was initially conceived as a classical music series with concerts featuring works by renowned 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 anime, movie soundtracks and many more. The multi-sensory experience has also evolved to feature new and unique elements, such as ballet dancers or aerial performers, as well as branching out into other musical genres, such as jazz, soul, opera, flamenco and more. 

To Sofitel, travel embodies the art of embracing the present moment and enhancing the experience by inviting in the unexpected. The glow of the lights adds a special and magical touch to the world. This refined iteration of the Candle Ritual lies at the heart of the guest journey, elevating every aspect to craft a genuinely enchanting experience. It encapsulates the essence of Sofitel, invoking the magic and enchantment of our shared moments with every flicker of its light. And as we approach Sofitel's 60th anniversary in 2024, this rendition is just the beginning, promising even more surprises and magical moments ahead.
