Candlelight: A Tribute to Coldplay

Experience Coldplay's greatest hits reimagined in the soft glow of candlelight as the Classern String Quartet transforms modern anthems into mesmerizing chamber music.

Inside The Abbey, downtown Orlando's premier entertainment venue, hundreds of flickering flames will illuminate an unforgettable evening of musical artistry.

From the haunting melodies of "The Scientist" to the soaring strains of "Paradise," twelve beloved songs take on new life through expert string arrangements. This isn't just a tribute - it's a spellbinding journey where rock meets refinement and familiar tunes become extraordinary.
