St Anne's Cathedral, also known as Belfast Cathedral, will be illuminated by various Candlelight concerts – which will you attend?
Tamsin Salfrais - Staff Writer
At the heart of Belfast’s Cathedral Quarter, St Anne’s Cathedral – also known as Belfast Cathedral – cuts a mighty shape. Completed at the beginning of last century, in 1904, the church today still welcomes worshippers through its doors. And now, Belfast Cathedral will be the setting of a series of Candlelight concerts.
Belfast Cathedral will be awash with hundreds of (flameless) candles, as live classical instrumentalists perform beautiful pared-back renditions of well-known melodies, from current day pop hits to classical concertos, in front of the second-largest pipe organ in Northern Ireland.
On September 22, Arco String Quartet will grace Belfast Cathedral to perform a Candlelight concert that pays tribute to the anthems of the iconic Queen. Expect to hear the band’s legendary melodies, such as Bohemian Rhapsody, We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions, plus many many others over the course of an hour. Snap up your tickets here.
On October 13, you’ll be able to relive your favourite film moments as Hans Zimmer’s sensational compositions get the candlelight treatment. Well-known pieces from Pirates Of The Caribbean, The Lion King, and Gladiator are just some of the magical movie scores you can expect to hear snippets from. Tickets are available here.
All shows have two performances per night, one at 6.30pm and another at 9pm, so you can choose a pre- or post-dinner time that suits your schedule best.
