Candlelight: A Tribute to Beyoncé
All you Detroit “single ladies” and “alien superstars”, get ready to embark on an unforgettable journey through Queen Bey’s incredible repertoire! The talented musicians of Kalkaska String Quartet are taking on some of the most beloved Beyoncé songs at Sanctuary Church Birmingham.
The 32-time Grammy Award winner is known for her velvety voice, theatrical performances and incredibly curated shows. Now, you’ll get to experience her most popular songs in a new light. From “Halo” to “Crazy in Love” and “Hold Up”, experience amazing music as you’re surrounded by thousands of twinkling candles.
Candlelight Spring: A Tribute to Queen & More
Queen’s fascination for opera is perhaps best noticeable in the band’s fourth studio album A Night at the Opera. The 1975 album combines a wide range of styles and genres, including progressive rock, jazz, ballads and opera. Its first single “Bohemian Rhapsody” even includes famous classical characters including Figaro from Beaumarchais’ The Barber of Seville and The Marriage of Figaro.
Therefore, it seems fitting for Candlelight to blend Queen’s powerful hits with the opera art form. From “Don’t Stop Me Now” and “Killer Queen” to Puccini’s “O Mio Babbino Caro” and “Quando m’en Vo’ (Musetta’s Waltz)”, welcome spring with an epic Candlelight concert at the historic Sanctuary Church Birmingham.
