This season, Candlelight is honouring the Land of Oz at The Wizard of Oz – A Classical concert in Hamilton, a celebration of this cinematic classic’s enduring scores. This classical tribute will take over The Westdale for a 60-minute live music experience guided by a talented string quartet.
There is a kind of magic in The Wizard of Oz that never fades and a big part of it lives in its music. Its iconic soundtrack that guides Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion down the Yellow Brick Road continues to touch hearts and has become an anthem of courage, friendship and finding our way home. Now, you can hear it once more, reimagined at a beautifully restored heritage venue.
Candlelight: The Wizard of Oz – A Classical Concert
Like the story itself, the film’s songs are timeless because unlike many musicals of its time, they become part of the characters’ emotional landscape. Whether it’s “We’re Off to See the Wizard” that sets Dorothy off on her journey or the wishful “If I Only Had a Brain” sung by the Scarecrow, each song advances the plot and reveals the characters’ deepest wishes.
This season, Candlelight invites every dreamer and music lover in Hamilton to an unforgettable classical celebration of The Wizard of Oz, where a talented string quartet breathes new life into cherished songs like “Over the Rainbow” and “Follow the Yellow Brick Road”. Surrounded by thousands of candles, this performance will sweep you back to a place where wonder still shines bright.
This is your chance to rediscover classic melodies from The Wizard of Oz so dust off your ruby slippers, scarecrow costume or wear whatever you feel comfortable in, and secure your spot now before it’s too late.
