Experience the Magic of Candlelight Concerts in Malta – An Interview with Marina Willrich
03/27/2025
Bringing the Glow of Candlelight to Malta
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.
What Is Candlelight, and Why Is It Special?
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.
Why Should Dutch Expats in Malta Attend Candlelight?
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.
How Has the Event Scene in Malta Changed?
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.
Challenges & Innovation in Event Organizing
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.
Unforgettable Candlelight Moments in Malta
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.

Op vrijdag 9 en zaterdag 10 oktober 2026 is het weer tijd voor Birgu Fest! Twee avonden lang verandert het historische Birgu in een sfeervol festival vol duizenden kaarsen, muziek, eten, cultuur en gezelligheid. Wat ons betreft is dit absoluut een van de mooiste jaarlijkse evenementen van Malta – en onze tip is om op vrijdagavond te gaan!
Vanavond trekken we met de teams door Paceville voor een avond vol opdrachten, uitdagingen, verkleedpartijen, drankjes en vooral een hoop gezelligheid. Voordat we beginnen zijn er een paar dingen die je echt even moet weten.
Tijdens onze Pool, BBQ & Karaoke op zondag 20 september spelen we weer een nieuwe ronde van de NedMalta Mystery Envelope!
Je stage is geregeld. Je vliegtickets zijn geboekt. En na een zoektocht op Facebook heb je zelfs een appartement gevonden in Gżira voor de maanden dat je op Malta verblijft.
Na ruim 100 dagen zonder regen lijkt het dan eindelijk zover: de eerste regen komt weer richting Malta!
Zon, zee, palmbomen en na je werk nog even naar het strand. Voor veel Nederlanders klinkt wonen en werken in Malta als een behoorlijk goed idee. En eerlijk is eerlijk: het dagelijks leven ziet er hier gewoon anders uit dan in Nederland.
