From philosophers to contemporary artists, some of the most influential people in history have been inspired by classical music. There’s something about these deeply moving, eternal melodies that we continue to listen to them centuries after their debut as if they’re fresh off the charts. With summer kicking into gear, Candlelight invites you to enjoy classical renditions of contemporary hits as well as classical compositions in their original form at these very special open-air concerts.
The magic of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons has come and gone, but now Taylor Swift’s biggest hits will resound at one of Austin’s most stunning venues, the picturesque Prospect House. Feel the gentle breeze as you enjoy an intimate once-in-a-lifetime experience within the Hill Country landscape.
