Candlelight: Christmas Carols & The Nutcracker
Candlelight will have two themed holiday shows at The Grand 1401 on Friday: “Christmas Carols on Strings” and “The Nutcracker.”
They play while surrounded by hundreds — sometimes thousands — of LED candles for a dramatic effect.
For the early show, the Listeso String Quartet will perform holiday classics like “Joy to the World,” and “O Holy Night.” For “The Nutcracker,” the musicians will bring Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s soundtrack to life with epics like “Waltz of the Flowers” and “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy.”
