Vday is coming early as well as on-time this February. Even if “Monday’s blue, Tuesday’s grey and Wednesday too”, it’s Friday 9th you’ll be in love. On this date and on February 14, a Candlelight Valentine’s Day special is making its loved-up way to Denver for a romantic evening of music and countless candles. Celebrate the day of love, otherwise known as Single Awareness Day, with a captivating performance inspired by all things passion-covered.
Under the light of flickering candles and sitting in front of the great organ at the historic Trinity United Methodist Church or flying to the lyrical moon at Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum, both Valentine’s Day worshippers and skeptics alike are invited to fall under the spell of classical takes on famously moving songs by Céline Dion, Nino Rota, and more.

The day of love is on a Wednesday this year—probably one of the least convenient and most unromantic weekdays, although hump day…anyway, all need not be lost as Candlelight is set to illuminate Denver on both February 9 and 14. So for those of you lovebirds hoping to mark the occasion ahead of the official occasion, find your seat inside Trinity United Methodist Church (9 February). And others saying “Let’s stay together” on the 14th, make your way to Wings Over the Rockies where aerialists will honor love mid-air.
A Range Ensemble string quartet is set to take to the candlelit stages for a 60-minute musical, lovey-dovey sermon for a change guided by passionate notes and lessons in love. From the likes of Tchaikovsky’s “Fantasy Overture” to Taylor Swift’s “Love Story”, the talented musicians will bring the audience on a nostalgic journey through centuries-old love languages and contemporary melodies.
Swap out the bunch of roses that will wither within a few days for a memory to last a lifetime. What’s more, with two performances taking place each evening, Candlelight’s Valentine’s Day special is the ideal passionate precursor to an intimate dinner or the perfect late-night digestif.
