Halloween invites us to let go and not take ourselves too seriously. Whether it’s dressing up in spooky or ridiculous costumes or hearing famous soundtracks from some of our favorite horror movies, each year during spooky season, we get to embrace the playful side of fear. That is why the popular Candlelight Halloween Series is bringing a series of performances to Toledo, OH that fully embody the spooky season, with a sense of satire about mortality and life’s theatricality.
From Charles Gounod’s “Funeral March of a Marionette” that offers a humorous take on a typical procession and Camille Saint-Saëns’ “Danse Macabre”, which masterfully blends dark imagery with an almost mischievous energy to “Tubular Bells” from The Exorcist that combines unsettling dissonances with chiming bells and eerie synthesizers – these songs tap into the thrill of the bizarre and the spooky. Don’t miss out on what is likely to be one of the most popular activities in the city, and find your seat at the impressive The Summit Toledo.
Candlelight: A Haunted Evening of Halloween Classics
Traditionally, Halloween is celebrated by picking the best pumpkin from a patch, donning a great costume, and playing games like bobbing for apples. However, you can try something new this year by enjoying a live music performance featuring renditions of spine-chilling melodies. A Candlelight Halloween special provides the perfect plan for families or friends to embrace the spirit of the beloved holiday.
A classically-trained Listeso string quartet is set to take to the stage at The Summit Toledo. Relive hair-raising moments from Halloween and Stranger Things, and reintroduce yourself to classics like Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”. Candlelight wants to witch you a Happy Halloween by showing you what happens when the macabre meets the classical form.
Ring in the most terrifying time of the year with this hauntingly beautiful Candlelight concert. There’s nothing wrong with a gentle scare, and there’s certainly nothing wrong with appreciating the power of music. What’s more, with two performances taking place on the evening, you can choose a concert to suit your schedule.
Note: For the safety of our audience, all of the candlelight will be provided through flameless candles.
