Autumn by Candlelight from Vivaldi to Taylor Swift
Nov 14, 2026
6:30 PM - 10:00 PM PST
Autumn by Candlelight
From Vivaldi to Taylor Swift
Candlelight. Live strings. Music you know and love.
Join Monarch String Quartet for an autumn evening that puts a fresh spin on the traditional string quartet. From classical favorites to iconic rock, pop, and modern hits, this one-hour concert brings together music across generations—all reimagined through the sound of live strings. The program will offer something for longtime classical music lovers and contemporary music fans alike!
The evening’s repertoire will draw inspiration from classical favorites such as Vivaldi, alongside music by celebrated artists like The Beatles, Van Morrison, Taylor Swift, Coldplay, Queen, and more.
Set against the warm glow of candlelight, Autumn by Candlelight is designed to feel less like a traditional concert and more like a night out. Stay after the final note for a wine and dessert reception and enjoy a little more time to relax, mingle, and connect.
Presented by AAUW Atascadero, with proceeds supporting local scholarships, Tech Trek STEM camp, and programs benefiting women and girls in our community.
