MOLINE, ILLINOIS (August 5, 2025) — The internationally acclaimed Candlelight® concert series, known for bringing classical music to all kinds of audiences under the gentle glow of thousands of candles, returns to Moline in October with a new lineup. The concerts will take place at First Congregational Church of Moline, where audiences can enjoy a unique multisensory live music experience.
The Halloween program has been carefully curated to pay tribute to the spooky, the fantastical, and the supernatural.
Highlights include Danse Macabre by Camille Saint-Saëns, Funeral March of a Marionette by Charles Gounod, and the second movement of Dmitri Shostakovich’s String Quartet N° 8, all known for their dramatic tones and dark ambiance. The concert also features cinematic favorites such as “Tubular Bells” (theme from The Exorcist), “Night on Bald Mountain” by Modest Mussorgsky (famously featured in Disney’s Fantasia), Prelude from Psycho by Bernard Herrmann, and the main themes from Beetlejuice, The Addams Family, Ghostbusters, Halloween, Stranger Things, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and “Time Warp” from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Michael Jackson’s Thriller, arranged for string quartet, will also be part of the repertoire.
Candlelight® was created with the aim of making music more accessible by bringing it to unexpected and intimate venues, offering a visually stunning and approachable experience. Since its launch, it has hosted thousands of concerts in over 150 cities around the world, including London, New York, Madrid, Sydney, and Paris.
