Icon Strings Quartet will perform at all Musicals by Candlelight concerts. The award-winning musicians regularly play at prestigious London playhouses like the Royal Albert Hall and the Royal Opera House. These concerts offer the chance to see world-class musicians at work. LondonTheatre1 praised the show, saying: “There are no flashing or moving lights, no stage revolves, and no props — just the music. It’s quite a bold move to rely solely on a string quartet, but a good variety of upbeat and majestic melodies ensures there’s something for almost everyone.”
The Musicals by Candlelight concerts take place at The Actor's Church (also known as St Paul's Church) in the heart of Covent Garden. Entry to the church is via the gate on Bedford Street. Inside the church, there are plaques dedicated to musical theatre composers such as Frederick Lerner and Ivor Novello, and performers such as Charlie Chaplin.
The venue will open 30 minutes before the advertised Musicals by Candlelight start times. Before stepping in the church, take a walk around the courtyard. You won’t believe you’re in the hustle and bustle of Covent Garden!
Latecomers can be admitted up to 15 minutes after the performance has started.
