Add the moving sounds of the violin, viola, and cello to your Halloween plans this spooky season; it’ll get a whole lot more boo-tiful thanks to these bewitching Halloween Candlelight concerts in NYC. Watch a string quartet rework ominous tunes and mysterious melodies from your favorite horror movies and other spooky songs surrounded by a sea of twinkling candles.
Highline String Quartet, some of the most sought-after musicians in the city, will perform classical takes on blood-curdling music inside the Church of the Heavenly Rest and Irondale. Themes from Ghostbusters, Beetlejuice, and The Exorcist, as well as Día de los Muertos staples like La Martiniana, and more, will be performed on the night. We couldn’t ask for a creepier plan this year.
Haunted Evenings of Halloween Classics
At Candlelight Halloween: A Haunted Evening of Halloween Classics, the Highline String Quartet will send shivers down your spine with their chilling renditions of Danny Elfman’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Suite and the Addams Family theme, Chopin’s ghastly “Marche Funèbre” and plenty more spooky songs.
Taking place at two gorgeous yet atmospherically chilling venues, namely the historic Church of the Heavenly Rest and Irondale., the two New York architectural gems will receive a scary makeover and be enveloped in the warm light of thousands of glistening candles. Sit back, relax and beware of the evils that may be lurking in the dark!
All upcoming Halloween Candlelight concerts
This Halloween season, lighting up some of the most spectacular and spine-chilling venues in the city, these ghostly music shows will transport you to some of the most memorable on-screen moments and bring forth memories of prior spooky season celebrations.
Typically each evening has two performances planned and each concert will last 60 minutes. So, sit back, relax and dip your toes in the cool waters of the darkness.
Note: For the safety of our audience, all of the candlelight will be provided through flameless candles.
