Candlelight concert in which the Listeso String Quartet reimagines The Beatles' songbook inside the Columbus Museum of Art.
The Beatles get a candlelight tribute at the Columbus Museum of Art on Friday, January 8, 2027. It's part of the Candlelight concert series, which takes a band's songbook and reimagines it under the glow of candlelight in a live, multi-sensory setting. The Listeso String Quartet is the group on hand for this one, taking those familiar melodies and running them through strings.
The venue is the Columbus Museum of Art, 480 East Broad Street in downtown Columbus. It's a 350-capacity museum established in 1878, housed in a 1931 Second Renaissance Revival building that's listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The space holds a mix of historic architecture, modern art collections, and a sculpture garden, so you'll be sitting in a museum rather than a concert hall. The show runs about an hour, and it's not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by The Beatles or their estate.

On the practical side, the concert runs from 6:30 PM to 7:45 PM, and doors open 45 minutes early. There's no entry once it starts, so you'll want to be inside before the music begins. It's recommended for ages 8 and up, with under-16s needing to be accompanied by an adult. Seating is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis within each zone, so getting there early helps you land where you want. Tickets start at $30.
