From London to Paris, from New York to Istanbul — candlelight concerts in historic buildings, admired by millions around the world, are now in Baku! 🌎
⭐ Candlelight Baku LTD is Azerbaijan’s first candlelight concert project.
🕯️ An Evening of Tango Music by Candlelight, surrounded by 2,500 candles in the enchanting atmosphere of the Chamber and Organ Music Hall — a magnificent century-old church built in the early twentieth century in the Neo-Gothic style.
We invite you to experience the romance of tango through live music and dance in the glow of thousands of candles! Originating in Argentina and Uruguay in the late nineteenth century, tango brought different cultures together and became one of the world’s most beloved music and dance traditions.
Live performances of “Por una cabeza,” “Libertango,” “Oblivion” and “La cumparsita,” accompanied by tango couples, will immerse you in the charm of this rich tradition. Book your tickets now and join us for an unforgettable evening by candlelight!
