Candlelight® enchants with a special Halloween musical experience

Set in unique venues across the country, the program includes haunting melodies such as Night on Bald Mountain, Tubular Bells, Ghostbusters, and The Nightmare Before Christmas, among others

This Halloween season, Candlelight® enchants multiple cities in the United States with a special musical experience, blending classical masterpieces with iconic horror films and TV soundtracks. Set against the intimate backdrop of unique venues across the country, the concert will be performed live by a local string quartet and illuminated by thousands of LED candles that will transform the space into a magical and mysterious setting.

The program has been carefully curated to pay tribute to the spooky, the fantastical, and the supernatural. Highlights include Danse Macabre by Camille Saint-Saëns, Funeral March of a Marionette by Charles Gounod, and the second movement of Shostakovich’s String Quartet No. 8, all known for their dramatic tones and dark ambiance. 

The concert also features cinematic favorites such as Tubular Bells (theme from The Exorcist), Night on Bald Mountain by Mussorgsky (famously featured in Disney’s Fantasia), Prelude from Psycho by Bernard Herrmann, and the main themes from Beetlejuice, The Addams Family, Ghostbusters, Halloween, Stranger Things, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Time Warp from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Michael Jackson’s Thriller, arranged for string quartet, will also be part of the repertoire.

The performance will be delivered by local string quartets, recognized for their versatility and ability to reimagine contemporary music through a classical lens.
