All Candlelight concerts
Where to see film music concerts in Paris?
In addition to the Théâtre des Bernardines, the Palais du Pharo and the Théâtre de l’Œuvre, where Candlelight’s sparkling candles will be held, other major Parisian venues are also offering concerts in honor of the wonderful world of soundtracks.

“The atmosphere of a film is born of its music. – Ridley Scott
How do soundtracks help tell stories in films?
Character emotion
Music has the power to make the intangible tangible. It gives voice to the silent emotions of characters, whether it’s the solitude of a protagonist lost in thought or the passion contained in a look. With its universal language, it creates a bridge between the viewer and the film’s inner world.
A sense of time and place
Cinema uses music to manipulate our perception of time and space. A majestic orchestral composition can transport us to a historical epic, while a minimalist synthesizer piece projects us into a dystopian future. These musical contrasts shape our understanding of the narrative framework.
Music never ceases to surprise us, and it interferes with so many aspects of life. It is an integral part of society, and it is its contribution and impact on the film industry that is highlighted and celebrated by the Candlelight concerts. It’s impossible to pay tribute to music without giving cinema its moment of glory. Come and celebrate two of the finest arts, music and cinema.
