The first notes of a familiar pop anthem, reimagined for a string quartet, can transport you straight to the heart of a grand ballroom. Calgary has now become the talk of the town as the mesmerising Candlelight concert series brings the music of Bridgerton to life. The experience captures the sweeping emotion of the series, from the passionate moments of courtship to the drama of a secret revealed. Hearing Pitbull’s “Give Me Everything” transformed into a classical masterpiece perfectly evokes the feeling of surrendering to a grand, all-consuming love affair.

This enchanting tribute unfolds within the historic walls of The Lantern Community Church, whose warm, resonant acoustics lend a stunning intimacy to the performance. The venue’s serene atmosphere provides a perfect escape from the city bustle, allowing the music to completely envelop you. Here, you’ll hear the Listeso string quartet’s version of Robyn’s “Dancing on My Own”, a rendition that so beautifully captured the heartache and yearning of Kate Sharma’s journey.
The setlist navigates the full emotional spectrum of the Shondaland series on Netflix.
