This dreamy candlelight concert is heading to Bab Samhan Diriyah (and you'll want tickets)
It might be your prettiest night out yet
There’s just something about a candlelit concert – the flicker of glowing candles, the music, the stillness – that feels effortlessly romantic and pretty atmospheric.
For those who want to appreciate some downtime with good music, here’s your chance to experience these one-night-only Candlelight Concerts in Riyadh.
Taking place on Friday May 8 at Bab Samhan, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Candlelight: The Best of Ludovico Einaudi brings the series into a heritage setting that feels like the perfect fit for the music, set against Diriyah’s signature mud-brick Najdi architecture.
With candlelight flickering against textured walls and an intimate ballroom setting, the whole experience feels a touch more elevated than your usual concert night.
And then, the music plays. Prepare to be enchanted as you’re serenaded by the talented pianist Aziza Aghazada.
Candlelight glows with quiet intensity as the minimalist poetry of Ludovico Einaudi unfolds in radiant stillness.
From the tender rise of Nuvole Bianche to the reflective beauty of Una Mattina and the light, uplifting rhythm of Primavera, his compositions have reshaped contemporary classical music with their intimacy and emotional clarity.
Beneath a sea of candles, each melody feels suspended in time, both fragile and powerful. A luminous homage to a composer whose music speaks softly – yet resonates deeply.
One other Candlelight Concert, also taking place at Bab Samhan, a Luxury Collection Hotel, on the same night, will pay tribute to the best of Frédéric Chopin.
Known for his extraordinary ability to combine technical virtuosity with deep emotional expression, Chopin’s piano music revolutionised the Romantic repertoire.
Treat yourself to a special evening, wrapped in an intimate atmosphere, and experience the magic of his compositions in a place made especially to welcome the sound of his notes.
