Live music, famous love songs and thousands of twinkling candles — what more could you ask for this February? Candlelight Valentine’s Day concerts in Portland are inspired by classic film scores and eternal pieces devoted to the season of love. “Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief that” this captivating performance might shine brighter than any light or even the Earth’s only natural satellite.
Take or leave the predictable bouquet or underwhelming box of chocolates, and swap them out for a string quartet’s takes on some of the greatest love songs of all time. The soul-stirring concert will revisit music from the likes of Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Titanic, The Mission, and more.

Candlelight: Classical Romance
There’s always room for the greatest love hits and even some R&B tracks when it comes to romantic melodies, but the power of classical music is undeniable when it comes to matters of the heart. So that’s why the setlist for this Candlelight Valentine’s Day concert features names like Wagner, Borodin, Debussy, and Puccini. Let the lyrical notes wash over you and your date on February 14 during the 60-minute show.
After absorbing every last loved-up melody, parting will be “such sweet sorrow”. However, you can make the most of the evening out as there will be two performances taking place. Book a table at an intimate restaurant for a pre or post-show meal.
