A 60-minute candlelight concert with a string quartet performing Bach to Beatles classics at The Museum of Flight.
The Seattle String Quartet takes the stage at The Museum of Flight on Thursday, October 22, for a Candlelight concert that runs from Bach to the Beatles. It's a 60-minute set, so it's a relatively short commitment for a weekday evening.
The program lives up to the title, pulling from two very different ends of the string repertoire. You'll hear the structured, baroque lines of Bach alongside the melodies of the Beatles, both played by the same quartet. It's the kind of set that works whether you're more into classical music or just want to hear some familiar songs rearranged for strings.
The venue is a big part of the draw here. The Museum of Flight is at 9404 East Marginal Way South, and the performance happens among the museum's historic aircraft, so you'll be surrounded by planes while the music is playing. The whole space is lit by thousands of LED candles, which is the signature of the Candlelight series—they use LEDs for safety, so there's no real fire in the room, just the glow. It's a pretty distinct setting for a string quartet.
