Turn down the lights and enter the sensory experience of your favorite artists by candlelight. There’s something illuminating about hearing your favorite ABBA or Queen songs when the lights are dimmed and all you can hear is the string quartet rising and falling with the song. Candlelight concerts are an immersive way to experience the music you love most in beautiful venues.
In March, LGC started a series, Just Around the Corner, where we highlight local events around the country near our branches. From restaurant weeks to intimate candlelight concerts to the Kentucky Derby, LGC recommends events Just Around the Corner from your hometown. Today, we are highlighting Cincinnati Candlelight Concerts.
