Candlelight Concert: Tribute to The Beatles

The Beatles get a candlelit tribute at Resurrection MCC in The Heights on Saturday, October 24. It's a Fever Original, part of the Candlelight Concert Series that stages shows regularly across Houston. The format is a live string ensemble performing the Fab Four's classic hits, with the music reworked for a string section rather than a full band. The set includes 'Blackbird', 'Eleanor Rigby' and 'Here Comes the Sun'.

It's a 60-minute concert, so it's a relatively short commitment. The string ensemble takes the Beatles' songbook and strips it down to strings, which changes the feel of the songs you've heard a thousand times. 'Eleanor Rigby' was originally a string-heavy track, so it fits right in, while 'Here Comes the Sun' and 'Blackbird' move from acoustic guitar to a string arrangement. The whole thing is set in a candlelit room, which is the signature of the series.

Because it's part of the Candlelight Concert Series, this isn't a one-off. Fever runs these shows across Houston on a regular basis, with different themes and artists taking turns in the spotlight. This one happens to be the Beatles. Tickets start at $34.50, and prices can fluctuate up or down depending on demand, so it's worth checking early if you're planning to go. The show is an hour long, and the venue is Resurrection MCC in The Heights.
