And this season, the Gran Casa Xalisco—a 19th-century mansion steeped in history and character—and the Sala Consuelo Velázquez – PALCCO, which boasts some of the best acoustics in the country, are the chosen venues. These venues will come alive with new tribute concerts to your favorite artists and songwriters. That extra touch of magic that the venue provides ties it all together, and it’s one of the reasons to go to Candlelight.
