Vivaldi Four Seasons by Candlelight

Vivaldi Four Seasons by Candlelight comes to the Royal Pavilion on Saturday 7 November, with the music starting at 19:00. It's a performance of Antonio Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, one of the most famous works in the classical canon, played in a room lit by candlelight rather than the usual house lights. The candlelight is the main thing that sets this apart from a standard concert; it changes the whole feel of the room and turns a piece most of us know by heart into something a bit more atmospheric.

The Four Seasons is a cornerstone of classical music, and the four concertos within it are meant to capture the changing seasons. It's a work known for its virtuosity and emotional range, and it's held its place as one of the most beloved compositions in the classical repertoire for centuries. The candlelight setting adds an intimate layer to the performance, and the organisers describe it as a way to hear the piece as you've never heard it before.

If 7 November doesn't work for you, there are several other dates to choose from. The series continues at the Royal Pavilion on Saturday 14 November at 19:00, Friday 11 December at 19:00, Saturday 9 January 2027 at 19:00, and Saturday 6 February 2027 at 21:00. That's five performances in total, spread across the next few months, so you've got a fair few options if you're trying to fit it around your schedule.

Tickets are £25.00 as a guide price, and the venue is the Royal Pavilion, 4-5 Pavilion Buildings, Brighton, BN1 1EE. With the dates running from November right through to February, you can pick the one that suits you best.
