Dearest Reader,
Every viewer remembers them well — the lavish balls attended by members of the ton and the talented string quartets reworking modern-day hits in the classical form. Since 2020, the famous period drama has been gripping audiences worldwide with its steamy scenes and nuanced take on Regency-era etiquette. And Candlelight x Bridgerton in New York invites everyone to experience hearing familiar tracks performed on strings for the ultimate throwback to Mayfair’s sophisticated soirées. Quite a rare jewel is coming to St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church, indeed!
Tickets are on sale now, and I suggest you secure yours soon and get ahead of other Bridgerton devotees. After all, you won’t want to miss out on the chance to allow the likes of Pitbull’s “Give Me Everything” and Sia’s “Cheap Thrills” to get under your skin again and remind you of that highly anticipated carriage scene.
The Best of Bridgerton on Strings
No one could be more reliable than I to reveal the circumstances of this Bridgerton-inspired performance.
As thousands of flickering candles illuminate a unique space, an ensemble takes to the stage to transform electropop, R&B, and other music genres with a classical twist. Featuring highlights from Bridgerton’s classical-pop soundtrack, the setlist for this sensational spectacle is full of the same rich and thrilling notes that played on as debutantes, dukes, and duchesses were up to no good.
Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy” is a true testament to Simon Basset’s coldness. And the dramatic effect of Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball” perfectly encapsulates the emotional roller coaster Anthony and Kate’s relationship endures. Expect these songs and more to take you on a musical journey unlike any other. You can even close your eyes and picture yourself as part of one of the noble families, wearing a dance card around your wrist, hosting calling hours, or initiating horse chases in the park.
This Candlelight meets Bridgerton concert is so very captivating and bright that I believe even Her Majesty herself couldn’t demand more. A blend of countless emotions, candles, and classical renditions will take you back to the 1800s within the confines of St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church.
I never was nor will be a fan of keeping secrets; spread the word far and wide: Candlelight x Bridgerton is ready to shine another new light on contemporary music.
Yours truly,
Lady Whistledown
