Carols By Candlelight – 2026

About this event

Carols By Candlelight is part of the KSO By Candlelight Series, presented by the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra. It’s an intimate, immersive holiday concert performed in the round at the Radisson’s Arcadia Ballroom, with the stage centered in the room and audience seating encircling the performers. The Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra’s Burdick-Thorne String Quartet—artists in residence for the orchestra—performs a program of seasonal carols. VIP tickets offer shared table seating nearest the performance area (assigned in purchase order), while General Admission surrounds the stage. The candlelit ambiance and ballroom setting create a warm, personal alternative to a traditional concert hall. The Radisson hotel is the event’s Performance Partner as part of the broader KSO By Candlelight series.
