Candlelight is bringing back its atmospheric concert series this fall, transforming historic locations nationwide into flickering, multi-sensory haunted music halls.
Titled “A Haunted Evening of Halloween Classics,” the program features local string quartets performing sinister scores in the glow of thousands of candles. The setlist spans horror cinema, pop culture, and classical masterpieces—from Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” and Bernard Herrmann’s “Psycho” theme to Saint-Saëns’ “Danse Macabre” and the theme from “Stranger Things.”
“A Haunted Evening of Halloween Classics” is taking place at venues across the country—including Fontainebleau Miami Beach in Miami, Florida; The Congress Plaza Hotel & Convention Center in Chicago, Illinois; Phoenix Zoo in Phoenix, Arizona; and Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts.
