On Saturday 2 May, St Mary's Church, Nantwich will open its doors to an evening of candlelit music, where hundreds of candles will illuminate the beautiful venue for two exceptional concerts of the highest quality.

Both concerts will last for 70-minutes each and feature some of the country's most acclaimed classical musicians in a mixture of crossover and traditional works.

Vivaldi Four Seasons - Candlelit Concert, is a celebration of one of classical music's most beloved masterpieces.

The performance features the ever-popular, Northern String Quartet, alongside renowned pianist, Jason Ellis, and award-winning opera singers.
