Candlelight: Christmas Special Featuring “The Nutcracker” & More
634 Hamilton Street, Allentown, PA
Tonight was such a beautiful night, despite the rather dreary weather only Edgar Allen Poe would love. Tonight, before the Candlelight concert, I stopped at Gallows Hills Spirts to meet KRAMPUS and Goth Santa. Dark Spirits Socials. It was a fun night, and one thing about Gallows, it feels like home. A place that Bob Piano started and made it into a wonderful place. Businesses take a lot of care. After meeting Krampus and proudly finding out I was indeed on the NAUGHTY list.
I made my way to the absolutely stunning, Vault 634. The building is just breathtaking. It’s one of those building that you just spend the whole day in, and fully investigate it from top to bottom.
If you get a chance, make sure to go and visit. The Candlelight performance was phenomenal. The musicians did such an incredible performance. They have so much passion, and I loved hearing all the stories about Vivaldi, the journey they took from Philadelphia, and what music means to them.
I had a conversation after, and spoke about one my favorite horror soundtracks, SAW. They play “Zepp’s Theme” during the Halloween show. I’m grateful my awesome friend Colleen came with me. This was such a unique experience. I know I have never seen anything like it, and I have SEEN A LOT in life.
Some of the beautiful songs varied from iconic Holiday songs, traditional Hanukkah, and or course, the beautiful classical music from Tchaikovsky, Debussy, and Vivaldi. It was stunning, STUNNING. I can’t wait to see them again, SIGN ME UP FOR ALL THE SHOWS.
They performed, “Oh Holy Night,” “The Snow is Dancing,” “The Seasons, Op. 37a,” Ma’oz Tzur,” “The Nutcracker, Op. 71,” “The Four Seasons, Violin Concerto in G Minor, Op. 8 No 4 RV 297: Winter.”
It was breathtaking, and just took you to a different. I imagined beautifully dressed people just discovering this beautiful music. I hope they continue to tour, and bring these shows back, and thank you so much to the amazing staff at VAULT 634, and thank to the IMMESNILY talented musicians for taking the time to talk with me, and Colleen.
Make sure to check them out on tour.
