Candlelight concert with a live string ensemble playing Halloween classics at the historic The Link Auditorium.
Candlelight brings A Haunted Evening of Halloween Classics to The Link Auditorium on Friday, October 30, just a day before Halloween. The performance starts at 8:45 PM, and the doors open 45 minutes before the show.
If you've never seen a Candlelight concert, the format is pretty specific: they take a curated selection of pieces and pair them with a live string ensemble, all set against a backdrop of hundreds of candles. The program for this one is A Haunted Evening of Halloween Classics, so the music leans into the spooky side of things. It's a string-led evening, and the candlelight is as much a part of the experience as the music itself.
The venue is The Link Auditorium at 4504 Westminster Place in the Central West End. It's an historic building designed by Theodore Link and built in 1908 for The Wednesday Club, a women's education and social club. These days it serves as a learning center and event space for concerts, programs, art exhibits, and more. It's a spot with some real history behind it, which fits the mood of a Halloween-themed night.

There are a couple of practical things to keep in mind before you go. The venue asks that attendees be 8 years or older to attend, and anyone under 16 needs to be accompanied by an adult. The show starts at 8:45 PM, and the doors open 45 minutes before that, so you've got plenty of time to get settled before the music begins.
