Leading entertainment discovery platform Fever will bring its critically acclaimed Candlelight Concerts series to the Central Coast this summer, with the first concert scheduled for January 19, 2023, at Avoca Beach Theatre.
After appearing at more than 100 cities worldwide in various spectacular locations, the Candlelight Concerts summer series will tour a selection of new Australian locations in a bid to boost visibility for local musicians and celebrate unique venues.
Illuminated by thousands of candles, the Central Coast edition will offer two concert sessions at 6.30pm and 8.30pm with performances by a yet-to-be-announced local string quartet ensemble.
The quartet is set to perform a rendition of Hans Zimmer’s greatest film scores, including Circle of Life from The Lion King; Cornfield Chase from Interstellar; The Star Wars Medley; The Dark Knight Suite – No. 3; and Time from Inception.
Plans are currently underway to launch further open-air and summer city concerts along the east coast.
Tickets for the special Candlelight Concerts summer series can be purchased on the Fever App via Apple Store and Google Play, or on the Fever website.
Often referred to as an elitist and inaccessible genre, classical music has long been considered out-of-reach for many.
When launched in New York, Madrid and Paris in 2019, the Candlelight Concerts’ main focus was to showcase the music of composers such as Vivaldi, Chopin or Beethoven, and to bring traditional classical music closer to a new demographic.
Today over 70 per cent of Candlelight Concert attendees are under the age of 40 – most of whom have never attended a classical music concert before.
Fever’s ever-growing list of programs feature a wide variety of themes and genres beyond classical, such as jazz, pop, film soundtracks and ballet, showcasing the best hits of contemporary artists including Queen, Coldplay, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Fleetwood Mac and more.
Fever creates visibility and opportunities for fantastic musicians with a variety of qualifications and origins.
These young, talented and local musicians bring the unique Candlelight Concert experience to life.
