Rock hits by candlelight

Experience a luminous night of cinematic and rock classics re‑imagined for a single candlelit stage in “Rock Hits by Candlelight.” A spellbinding chamber orchestra—violinist Ekaterina Nagornaya, violist Tatyana Komissarova, pianist Margarita Vaganova, and Cuban drummer Yoel Gonzalez—brings a whispered, intimate sound to the glowing glow of vintage candles. Their swaying accompaniment is joined by powerful film scores: Howard Shore’s themes from *The Lord of the Rings* and *The Hobbit*, Hans Zimmer and Elton John’s unforgettable *The Lion King* soundtrack, Zimmer’s second‑motion *Interstellar* suite, James Horner’s stirring *Avatar* motifs, and Klaus Badelt’s swashbuckling *Pirates of the Caribbean* melodies. The concert culminates in a roaring tribute to Queen, featuring fan‑favorites such as “A Kind of Magic,” “Another One Bites The Dust,” “Bicycle Race,” “I Want To Break Free,” “Killer Queen,” “Somebody To Love,” “We Will Rock You,” “We Are The Champions,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and “The Show Must Go On.” A unifying glow of light, music, and feeling invites both film aficionados and rock‑heads alike to witness a concert that celebrates the shared heartbeat of pop culture and cinema.
