Featured Candlelight concert in Albuquerque
Candlelight: Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and More
The Clyde Hotel is set to be transformed into a dreamy, candlelit setting, where flickering candles and enchanting melodies bring each season to life. A skilled string quartet will perform selections from Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, alongside masterpieces by classical greats such as Piazzolla and Massenet. Experience the icy notes of winter, the warmth of a summer breeze, the cheerful chirping of birds, and so much more—all beautifully expressed through the strings of a talented ensemble.
Candlelight: The Best of The Beatles
Rock ‘n’ roll, dreamlike psychedelia, and a whole host of other genres can be found across this legendary group’s impressive discography. With some of the most well-known and instantly recognizable songs in history, not to mention their revolutionary impact on the music industry, there’s a reason The Beatles are so iconic.
Candlelight may be toning things down a notch, but certainly not in a disappointing way. Instead, fans of The Beatles can immerse themselves in the glow of thousands of candles as a string quartet reworks “Here Comes The Sun”, “Penny Lane”, “Come Together”, and more of the influential group’s greatest hits.
