Imagine classical versions of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and Taylor Swift's "Anti-Hero", surrounded by candles.

Candlelight concerts are performed around the world every week. Amazing, classically-trained musicians perform all sorts of music in some of the world’s most unique and historic buildings, all lit by a sea of candles (they are LED). It's a tough combination to beat. And now, Portland, Maine, gets to experience Candlelight!
