Fellow otakus of classical music, this is where one of your dreams come true! Followers of Studio Ghibli, be very pleased that most of the songs in the line-up constitutes soundtracks from Hayao Miyazaki’s animated world. Fans of romance, live your moment!
Under the glimmer of candlelight, bask in this magical ambience that will take you on a dreamy ride. For a moment, escape reality and enter the land of Anison piano instrumentals.
Two things are key to these mesmerising nights: candles and music. Every candlelight concert is lit by hundreds of flameless candles, transforming scenic Singapore venues into dreamy atmospheric spaces.

Where You Can Check Out This Candlelight Concert
The great thing is, this is not a one-time only performance! The anime candlelight concert hold many shows albeit once or twice per month, which means that you won’t miss out on the opportunity to bathe in the enthralling ambience. Organised by Fever, venues on its ticketing website are not announced until about a month prior to the actual date of the event. This hour-long concert is open to everyone aged eight and above, but it’s really one for the grown-ups I’d say.
