On the other side of the globe, the allure of ABBA will intertwine with the majesty of classical music as Candlelight presents the Queen vs. ABBA performance on January 25, 2025, at the Museo del Enganche, Fundación Real Escuela Andaluza del Arte Ecuestre, Jerez de la Frontera. This intimate venue will host spectators as they enjoy renditions of iconic songs like “Dancing Queen,” “Super Trouper,” and “Mamma Mia,” performed by the talented Cuarteto Falla.

“Candlelight brings the magic of live music to incredible venues,” noted the event's announcement, highlighting its unique approach to presenting music against stunning settings.
The Youth Orchestra of San Antonio is also joining the celebration of ABBA on March 15, 2025. The Tobin Center will take center stage as young musicians perform ABBA's greatest hits, featuring the talents of top vocalists from San Antonio. Classic favorites like “Take a Chance on Me” and “Waterloo” will resonate through the hall, freshly interpreted with orchestral arrangements.
“Take a chance on the Youth Orchestra of San Antonio's performance of classic ABBA favorites,” invites the promotion for the event, as this performance is part of YOSA's Classic Album Live Series aimed at honoring legendary rock and pop songs.
