What is Candlelight Babies?
Candlelight Babies is a 45-minute concert experience designed to nurture your baby’s creativity. But it’s not just Candlelight that supports this idea. Science shows that music is greatly beneficial for infants, helping in language and brain development, social bonding, and even emotional regulation. Basically, listening to music is an activity that both soothes your little ones and helps them learn.
Featuring relaxing music by acclaimed classical composers in the likes of Vivaldi, Mozart and Bach, this enchanting concert welcomes parents and their cooing babies aged 0 to 12 months to enjoy classical pieces, bond and cuddle. But they won’t have to sit through the entire concert like adults — your children will also have a designated space with padded flooring to play or snuggle.
