Candlelight: 90s Hip-Hop on Strings

Candlelight brings 90s Hip-Hop on Strings to Trinity Episcopal Cathedral on Friday, November 6, 2026. The Listeso String Quartet takes the stage for a 60-minute set that reimagines 1990s hip-hop classics as string quartet tributes, with the room lit only by flameless LED candles. It's a tribute experience, not linked to, endorsed or sponsored by the original artists or their representatives.

The program is built around medleys of artists who defined the era: Jay-Z, Outkast, Lauryn Hill and the Fugees, 2Pac, The Notorious B.I.G., Dr. Dre, Eminem and Kendrick Lamar. Hearing those beats and hooks translated to strings changes how they land, and the candlelit setting adds its own weight to the experience. It's a multi-sensory thing, so the atmosphere is as much a part of the evening as the music.

Practical details: The concert starts at 6:30 PM and runs for an hour, with doors opening 45 minutes before. Tickets start at $35.50. The venue is Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, 328 Sixth Avenue, 604 Penn St, Pittsburgh, PA 15215. It's recommended for ages 8 and up, and anyone under 16 needs to be accompanied by an adult.
