Local professional ensembles are bringing the viral Candlelight concert series to Detroit’s Gothic sanctuaries
The viral Candlelight concert series, known for pairing string ensembles with intimate candlelit performances, has arrived in Metro Detroit. The shows take place at historic venues including the Detroit Masonic Temple, The War Memorial, Sanctuary Church Birmingham, and Christ Church Detroit, running from July 2026 through early 2027. The lineup spans classical works (Vivaldi's Four Seasons), tributes to modern artists (Drake, Taylor Swift, Fleetwood Mac, Queen, The Beatles, Linkin Park, Michael Jackson, Adele), '90s and '80s rock reimagined on strings, hip-hop, and neo-soul favorites — with tickets starting around $27 to $43. The concerts have attracted strong reviews from attendees who praise the combination of skilled live performance and the atmospheric candlelit setting as a fresh take on the concert experience.
