Want to enjoy music in a whole new light? Across the country, Fever has been putting on Candlelit performances to experience music in a new way – and their next stop is Augusta.

Candlelight Concerts Coming to Augusta

Each show will be held at the Sacred Heart Cultural Center. The show lasts about 65 minutes. Doors will open 45 minutes before the show. Late entry is not allowed. The time and date of the events depend on the particular show. Tickets can be purchased for the event but seats are not assigned. They are on a first-come, first-served basis in each seating zone.

For each show, the performers are the Listeso String Quartet. They are a part of the Listeso Music Group, a boutique string quartet agency. The agency focuses on connecting the top local string quartets in a certain area directly with clients.
