Candlelit Concert

A candlelit concert is not just a musical event; it is a special atmosphere that allows music to be perceived in a new way. 26 June, Alexander Yakovlev will perform a program in a unique format where every chord will sound in the glow of soft candles, creating an incomparable, intimate atmosphere. In such a setting, the music becomes alive and reaches to the very core. Through the flicker of the candles, the audience will be able to experience the music differently — in its deepest and most emotional expression.
