Candlelight Venues in NYC
The Sheen Center
Situated on historic Bleecker Street, The Sheen Center for Thought and Culture has hosted countless cultural events, including movie premieres, and concerts. The venue’s history is quite fascinating. The building originally served as a parish for Italian immigrants, founded by two Jesuit priests. In the late ’20s, a school was built, which included an auditorium with a professional stage that would present full-scale operas annually. Following the results of the Great Depression, the church was converted into a residence and employment center for homeless men.
It wasn’t until 2015 that The Sheen Center would finally open its doors to artists in the likes of Norah Jones, Vanessa Williams, Kristin Chenoweth, and James Taylor. Today, it serves as a space where art and spirituality meet, which makes it an ideal location for enchanting and heavenly classical concerts under candlelight.

Sony Hall
Enjoy a Candlelight concert at this impressive venue in the heart of Times Square. Equipped with state-of-the-art technologies and part of a legacy that spans over 80 years, Sony Hall is a unique concert hall. Originally known as the Diamond Horseshoe when it opened in 1938, the space still features its original design and offers an unforgettable atmosphere for a live music performance.
St. Ann and the Holy Trinity Church
St. Ann and the Holy Trinity Church is no small building and was once the most visible landmark in all of Brooklyn; its spire was used by ship captains to enter New York Harbor. The nave of the church is 145 feet long and 42 feet wide, and the ceiling, an intricate fan vault design, reaches 63 feet high, dwarfing those sitting in the pews. The colorful, textured interior walls will glow during Candlelight concerts in the coming months.

Irondale
This theater company began in 1983 and has since endeavored to support “playwrights in residence”, focus on improvisation, bring programs to public and private schools, and so much more. Finding its official home in Brooklyn in 2008, The Space at Irondale “exists at the intersection of art”. This year, Candlelight concerts will be bringing breathtaking live performances to the beloved theater.
Our Lady of Mt Carmel-Annunciation Church
Currently located in Brooklyn, Our Lady of Mt Carmel-Annunciation is technically a merger of two parishes, both with a rich history dating back to the end of the 19th century. The Church of Annunciation was constructed by the Irish immigrant community in Manhattanville/West Harlem, but over time, it became associated with Lithuanian Catholics as well. On the other side, Our Lady of Mount Carmel was a prominent religious center for the Italian-Americans of Harlem.
Hard Rock Hotel New York: Where music and luxury meet
The Hard Rock Hotel could not be more famous. Located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan near Times Square, the hotel’s design immerses guests in a music-inspired atmosphere featuring guitars, sound waves, and a sleek jazz bar with a speakeasy vibe.
