Candlelight: Hip-Hop on Strings
111 South Michigan Ave Chicago
Candlelight: Hip-Hop on Strings is a high-energy, candlelit concert that gives classic and modern hip-hop a bold new sound, as the Metropolis String Quartet transforms legendary beats and hooks into lush, cinematic arrangements performed live by the glow of hundreds of candles. The setlist blends iconic sing-along tracks with crowd-pleasing medleys—featuring moments like Coolio’s “Gangsta’s Paradise,” Cardi B’s “I Like It,” plus suites celebrating Jay-Z, Outkast, Lauryn Hill & Fugees, Kendrick Lamar, 2Pac, The Notorious B.I.G., Dr. Dre, and Eminem—creating an hour-long experience that feels both elegant and electric, with every familiar melody hitting in a fresh, surprisingly emotional way.
