Candlelight concerts have been taking the world by storm, blending breathtaking music with the warm glow of hundreds of flickering candles. Now, for the first time ever, Downtown Neighbors Alliance (DNA) is bringing this mesmerizing experience to our community with Candlelight Crescendo—a night of music, ambiance, and pure magic. But what makes this event so special? Let’s dive into the facts!

In 2020, violinist Sarah Becker and cellist McKinley Glasser founded City Six Strings. A dynamic and versatile group, performing at 200-300 events annually across Ohio, Pittsburgh, and the surrounding areas. Best known for their work at weddings, City Six Strings is equally adept at playing for a wide variety of events, from fundraisers and corporate gatherings to house parties and soon to be added to their repertoire, candlelight concerts. 

Downtown Neighbors Alliance (DNA) is thrilled to announce our first-ever concert series, Candlelight Crescendo! Prepare for our first magical evening of breathtaking string harmonies as the Highmark Theater at Pittsburgh Playhouse transforms into a glowing sanctuary of 1,000 candles this June 20th.
