Torontonians definitely find themselves in need of an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city sometimes. And no, parks like Riverdale or Dufferin Grove are not always going to cut it. These open-air Candlelight concerts taking place at Evergreen Brick Works provide the perfect opportunity to unwind in a natural setting distanced from the noise pollution and traffic.
If you’re familiar with their high-waisted flares and feel-good anthems, you won’t want to miss out on a tribute to Coldplay in an open-air setting. Although, if you’re a die-hard fan of hip-hop and R&B, a show inspired by famous composers and contemporary artists is for you! Hear some of your favourite hits transformed into the classical form while sitting surrounded by hundreds of flickering candles.
