Candlelight: Christmas Carols on Strings
Vibe
Candlelit strings play traditional Christmas carols in a museum—cozy, seated, and very family-friendly.
Families and music fans show up early for assigned seating, and the mood is quietly festive rather than rowdy. What makes it worth it is the candlelight presentation of carols by string quartet—60 minutes with no entry after it starts. Kids 8+ are welcome, but under 16 must be with an adult.
