Candlelight: Tribute to Queen

Listeso String Quartet is taking over the Canzani Auditorium on Saturday, January 16, 2027, for a Candlelight tribute to Queen. It's one of those concerts where the lighting is as much a part of the night as the music: the room is lit only by candles, and the quartet plays Queen anthems under that glow. The show runs about an hour, and the evening is a tribute only—it's not associated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Queen or their official representatives.

The venue is the Canzani Auditorium, a performance space for up to 400 people inside the Joseph V. Canzani Center on the Columbus College of Art & Design campus, which opened in 1991. It's a decent size for a string quartet, and the candlelight format means the focus stays on the music. Past attendees have rated the experience around 4.8/5.

There are a few practical things to keep in mind before you head out. The show starts at 8:45 PM, and doors open 45 minutes before that, so you've got plenty of time to get settled. It's recommended for ages 8 and older, and anyone under 16 needs an adult with them. Seats are assigned on arrival, first-come within the zone you purchase, so arriving early is your best bet for a good spot. There's no on-site parking, so you'll want to plan your arrival in advance.

Tickets start at $41 and are sold only through the Fever app and website, not at the venue. With the 8:45 PM start and the hour-long set, it's a late-evening outing that wraps up before midnight.
