Enjoy the tranquil sounds of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons on strings from the renowned Highline Quartet, or take in the energetic notes of classic jazz numbers, all while an elegant space is bathed in hundreds of flickering candles. These renowned events offer safe, comfortable and socially distant seating for all, spread out over the glowing spaces — which range from historic Manhattan cathedrals to Brooklyn’s beloved Bell House.

For example, you can be transported to another era at the magnificent the Church of the Heavenly Rest on the Upper East Side. Take in the sounds of Beethoven soaring up to the church’s beautiful vaulted ceilings at this concert series — or, hear best of the ’90s from Britney Spears to Metallica on strings! You can also enjoy classical music by female composers at this venue.

Another stunning historic venue is St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church, a richly ornamented church in Brooklyn Heights notable for its elaborately vaulted roof and extensive suite of stained glass windows, a beautiful example of Gothic Revival architecture in the U.S. Take in everything from Bach to the the Beatles!

Whether you’re looking for a beautifully unique classical or jazz performance or a romantic candlelit experience, these concerts will fit the bill. And you don’t even need to be a music connoisseur to enjoy the experience (though of course that is welcome as well!).
