Malta's vibrant event scene continues to evolve, offering locals and expats immersive cultural experiences like never before. One of the most unique additions to the island's musical landscape is Candlelight, a global concert series by Fever that transforms classical and contemporary music performances into intimate, candle-lit spectacles.
To learn more about this breathtaking experience, we spoke with Marina Willrich, Senior Team Lead for Candlelight at Fever, who has been leading the way in bringing these stunning concerts to Malta.
Candlelight was created in 2019 with the vision of democratizing access to classical music. It offers a one-of-a-kind sensory experience, where guests enjoy masterpieces by composers like Vivaldi, Mozart, and Chopin, as well as modern hits from Queen, ABBA, Coldplay, and Ed Sheeran—all performed by talented local musicians in breathtaking venues illuminated by thousands of candles.
In Malta, Candlelight has found a home at The Phoenicia Malta, a landmark venue that perfectly complements the event's elegant and immersive nature.
For Dutch residents in Malta looking for a unique night out, Candlelight offers an unparalleled musical and cultural experience. Whether you're a classical music lover, a romantic looking for the perfect date night, or just someone who enjoys live music in a magical setting, Candlelight is an event that will leave a lasting impression.
"Candlelight isn't just about music; it's about creating moments. Our concerts take place in stunning locations worldwide, from historic cathedrals to modern rooftops, ensuring a special atmosphere every time," Marina explains.
Malta's event landscape has become more dynamic and diverse, with a growing demand for unique, immersive experiences. Marina notes that audiences in Malta have responded enthusiastically to intimate concerts in extraordinary venues, proving that there's a real appetite for cultural events that go beyond the ordinary.
"People in Malta are eager for high-quality musical experiences that blend atmosphere and artistry, and that's exactly what Candlelight offers," she says.
Organizing a global event series like Candlelight isn't without its challenges. Some of the main hurdles include:
Adapting to local audiences – Each city has its own musical tastes, so Fever curates programs that resonate with the local community.
Finding the perfect venue – Candlelight concerts require exceptional locations that enhance the experience.
Staying innovative – To keep audiences engaged, Fever constantly expands its repertoire with new themes, tributes, and collaborations, such as their recent Bridgerton-themed concert in partnership with Netflix.
Among the most memorable concerts in Malta so far were:
🎻 Candlelight: Valentine's Day Special – A romantic evening featuring classic love songs.
🎼 Candlelight: The Best of Bridgerton on Strings – A collaboration with Netflix and Shondaland, bringing period drama magic to life with string renditions of modern hits.

Wie in Malta woont of vakantie viert, heeft het vast wel eens meegemaakt: een kakkerlak die 's avonds ineens de keuken of badkamer oversteekt.

In Malta werkt het dagelijkse leven soms net wat anders dan in Nederland of België. Een goed voorbeeld is koken: veel huishoudens en appartementen in Malta gebruiken nog gasflessen (cylinders) in plaats van een vaste gasaansluiting. Voor wie hier nieuw is kan dit wat onwennig zijn. In deze blog leggen we uit hoe het werkt: van aanschaf tot...
