Candlelight: A Haunted Evening of Halloween Classics
Wednesday Addams would approve of this setlist. The iconic finger-snapping rhythm of “The Addams Family” theme creates instant recognition, while the eerie beauty of “Tubular Bells” builds hypnotic dread through repetitive patterns, and Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” transforms Halloween fear into pure entertainment with its unforgettable beat and ghostly backing vocals.
Four string instruments possess remarkable versatility in creating atmospheric terror. They can whisper with delicate bow work, scream through aggressive techniques, and everything between. The intimate scale of a string quartet means every musical gesture feels immediate and personal, while the acoustic nature of the instruments allows subtle dynamics and textures that electronic versions cannot match. Candlelight’s flickering ambiance completes this perfect storm of beautiful, terrifying music.
Candlelight Halloween at Peace Memorial Presbyterian Church
The Peace Memorial Presbyterian Church in Florida transforms into a mesmerizing venue for the Candlelight Halloween concert, with thousands of candles casting a warm, mysterious glow across its historic sanctuary and stained glass, creating an enchanting and subtly spooky atmosphere. Doors open 30–45 minutes before the 60-minute concert, allowing guests to be enveloped by the flickering light as a string quartet performs haunting classics such as String Quartet No. 8 in C Minor (Dresden Quartet), Op. 110: II. Allegro Molto by Dmitri Shostakovich, Psycho (Prelude) by Bernard Herrmann, and Der Erlkönig by Franz Schubert.
