In the new year, the Candlelight Concert Series will transform Berlin into a magical sanctuary full of warmth and spectacular sounds. While winter continues to bring frost outside, these atmospheric events immerse visitors in a world of classical music and soft candlelight – the perfect setting for feel-good moments and a musical start to the new year. In addition to classical masterpieces by Vivaldi and Ludovico Einaudi, you can also experience the hits of world-famous artists, including Linkin Park and Ed Sheeran, in a new music format.
Special music requires special venues to create a unique experience. Accordingly, the concerts will be held in various architectural hotspots in Berlin. These include the Gothic Church of St. Paul the Apostle, the magnificent palace theater in the Neues Palais and the beautiful Church of the Holy Cross with its idyllic surroundings.
