Fever, a leading global live-entertainment discovery platform, is bringing the Candlelight Concerts to Tauranga with a series of special performances, kicking off with concerts dedicated to Queen, Coldplay and more.

This expansion to the region comes on the heels of the experience’s success, having delighted audiences in more than 100 cities worldwide, including Auckland, Christchurch, London, Sydney, and New York.

The first concerts will see the Classic Flyers Aviation Museum illuminated by thousands of candles, allowing viewers to fully immerse themselves in an adapted program from Friday May 31, 2024.

This concert is inviting a broader audience that might have never considered a classical music concert before, to connect with the most iconic pieces of the greatest composers and listen to the top hits of well-known artists in a different way.  

Candlelight Concerts are a series of original music concerts created by Fever, aimed at democratising the access to classical music.

This innovative format represents a unique live musical experience through a varied offer of programs to meet all tastes, played by local musicians, in emblematic venues, with the space and performers illuminated by thousands of candles.

Candlelight 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 anime, movie soundtracks and many more.

The 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.

Reading the typical "Arts" claptrap about "democratising access" hasn't in any way encouraged me into wanting to go. And the longer I think about candles in an enclosed space (away from the wind and rain) the less likely it is that I will attend.
I guess the word that best describes the "arts scene" in the Bay of Plenty is PETENTIOUS.
