Candlelight - Queen vs ABBA

Candlelight: Queen vs ABBA offers a classical interpretation of two pop powerhouses. This isn't a cover band playing the originals; it's an instrumental re-imagining of hits from both Queen and ABBA, performed by a live ensemble. Expect familiar melodies presented in a new light, focusing on the musicality of these iconic catalogs. The San Diego Natural History Museum hosts this event on Thursday, December 3, 2026. The atmosphere in the museum, illuminated by candlelight, lends itself to a more reflective listening experience. It’s a good fit for those who appreciate classical music and also enjoy the songwriting of these legendary groups, or anyone looking for a unique concert setting in San Diego.
