Halloween Classics by Candlelight on Fifth Avenue
A candlelit string quartet plays Halloween classics and eerie thriller themes inside a Gothic nave on Fifth Avenue.
🕯 Thursday night on Fifth Avenue
🎻 Classical and Screen Halloween Classics
The program blends eerie classical masterworks with cinematic thriller themes, moving from Saint-Saëns and Mussorgsky to Michael Jackson's Thriller and the Psycho theme. The Highline String Quartet performs surrounded by thousands of flickering candles inside the stone nave, letting the soaring Gothic architecture shape each arrangement.
⛪ Church of the Heavenly Rest
Church of the Heavenly Rest anchors Fifth Avenue at East 90th Street, facing Central Park on Museum Mile. The performance takes place on the nave floor among candlelight rather than a distant proscenium stage. Tall limestone arches and glowing candlelight frame the quartet, creating an intimate acoustic setting across the cavernous room.
