Candlelit Concerts Among Haarlem's Historic Churches

A Candlelight concert in Haarlem sets live acoustic music against rooms lit only by candlelight, offering a quiet, close-up setting for familiar classical and contemporary pieces.

Among the locations are the St.-Bavokerk, the monumental late-Gothic church on the Grote Markt with a soaring, resonant interior, and the Doopsgezinde kerk, a discreet seventeenth-century Mennonite church set back from the Grote Houtstraat, with a plain, intimate hall.
