A Haunted Evening of Halloween Classics
Halloween is about embracing our dark side, as well as thinking of somber and universal themes like death and the supernatural that are so fascinating and alluring to many. With that in mind, Candlelight invites you get in a spooky mood and revisit some of the most hauntingly beautiful songs that tell mysterious tales of the supernatural.
Whether it’s dancing skeletons from Saint-Saëns’ “Danse Macabre”, mourners in a funeral procession of a marionette in Charles Gounud’s “Funeral March of a Marionette” or the eccentric world of Beetlejuice, where the supernatural and the living collide, they all have the allure of the unknown and tackle topics that continue to fascinate us. You can listen to these eerie tunes and more at Scottish Rite Temple performed by Listeso String Quartet.
Don’t miss out on a haunting Candlelight concert in celebration of one of the most beloved holidays of the year. This Halloween, head to Scottish Rite Temple and add a new plan to your spooky season festivities.
There’ll be two concerts on the night, with the first starting at 6pm and the later one at 8:30pm. Each show lasts 65 minutes and the doors will open one hour prior to the start time, giving you plenty of time to snap pictures of the surroundings and find your seats.
