Candlelight: A Tribute to Fleetwood Mac
Known for their eclectic style and dreamy melodies, Fleetwood Mac is one of the best-selling bands in the world. They’ve gone through quite the journey, often changing musical styles and band members. Yet, we continue to love their chart-topping hits, and even sing them in the shower.
Well luckily for you, this season, you can experience their folk and soft rock tunes completely reimagined by a talented string quartet at not one, but gorgeous locations, namely St Anne’s Cathedral and Central Church. From “Dreams” to “Rhiannon”, expect all the songs you know and love. Certainly, Candlelight is bringing its trademark sea of candles to lend an ethereal glow to the evening.
Candlelight: The Best of Bridgerton on Strings
The instrumental covers performed at some of Mayfair’s most elegant soirées are among the reasons this hit series is so beloved. Head to Belfast Cathedral to rediscover the beauty of Bridgerton’s famous soundtrack as a string ensemble performs songs like Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball”, Sia’s “Cheap Thrills”, and more. It’s a candlelit evening inspired by the romance and grandeur of the Regency era.
