by Maddie Mullikin | Reporter | Published Oct. 27, 2025
The warm glow of dozens of candles illuminated the stairway leading to the Granada Theater, as guests dressed in classy attire or more casually clothed filled nearly every seat of the historic venue.
The uptown Minneapolis theater hosted its âCandlelight: A Haunted Evening of Halloween Classicsâ concert last Thursday evening.
Candlelight, âa classical music concert made for everyone,â is a series of live performances produced by Fever and can be found in over 150 cities globally. Candlelightâs mission is to draw a range of audiences into the world of classical music by creating an elevated experience with ballet duets, jazz bands, pianists, orchestras and more who perform music the audience can connect with.
