These enchanting concerts will unveil musical delights bathed in the soft glow of candlelight for the first time at the English Renaissance-style Saint Paul Athletic Club. The stunning concerts will take place this fall in the spectacular Grand Ballroom, which dates back to 1917. The Athletic Club was designed by renowned architect Allen Stem of Reed and Stem, who notably worked on the St. Paul Hotel, the University Club of St. Paul, and NYC’s Grand Central Station.
The Candlelight series takes place twice each night with two back-to-back 65-minute performances. Doors will open 45 minutes prior to each show.
The concerts have been met by countless 5-star reviews, and guests have called it “a creative, enchanting, and new concert experience” and that “the performers were fantastic!”
