Candlelight: 90s Hip-Hop on Strings

Candlelight: 90s Hip-Hop on Strings offers a unique take on a familiar sound. This performance reimagines classic 90s hip-hop tracks through a classical lens, with arrangements played by a string ensemble. It's a chance to hear foundational beats and rhymes translated into a different musical language. The show is on Saturday, December 5, 2026, at the Simons Theatre in Boston, MA. The Candlelight series typically presents these events in an intimate setting, often by candlelight, creating a focused atmosphere for listening. This kind of evening appeals to those who appreciate both orchestral music and the lasting influence of 90s hip-hop culture.
