Candlelight Concerts, a series of live string concerts played under the glow of thousands of candles, take place on select dates through December 2026, with most shows at 6:30pm and 8:45pm at The Parthenon, Conrad Nashville, and the National Museum of African American Music.
Each show runs about 60 minutes, with a string quartet playing a themed set list. Programs range from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and Hans Zimmer film scores to tributes to Fleetwood Mac, Dolly Parton, Michael Jackson, and The Beatles, plus Halloween shows in October and Christmas shows in December. Tickets start at $27.46 and vary by show and seating zone. Seats are first come, first served within each ticket zone.
Doors open 45 minutes before showtime, and late arrivals are not admitted. Guests must be 8 or older, and anyone under 16 must be with an adult. Shows take place at The Parthenon (2500 West End Avenue, Nashville, TN 37203), Conrad Nashville (1620 West End Avenue, Nashville, TN 37203), and the National Museum of African American Music (510 Broadway, Nashville, TN 37203).
