Peter Gabriel sings, “The book of love has music in it.” Given that music’s supposed to be in the guidelines, what better plan to surprise your favourite person with than a Candlelight Valentine’s Day concert? From jazz classics to intermezzos and tango nuevo, talented musicians will take you both on a journey you won’t forget any time soon.
This February, find your seat at the beautiful Kerrisdale Presbyterian Church, where timeless love stories will be retold. Whether you prefer jazz’s improvised notes or the sentimental quality of Celine Dion’s music, there’s something for everyone.

The very skilled Malcolm Jazz Quartet is coming to Vancouver and with them, they bring a repertoire that includes Ella Fitzgerald’s “My Romance”, Frank Sinatra’s “Fly Me To The Moon”, and more. As you sit surrounded by thousands of candles and listen to renditions of famous jazz tracks, you’ll be smiling with your heart beside your favorite work of art.
Valentine’s Day Special ft. “Romeo and Juliet” and More
And if February 14 doesn’t suit your calendar this year, you can always mark the occasion on February 16 instead. During this 60-minute performance at Kerrisdale Presbyterian, lovebirds will be serenaded by a classically trained string quartet. Performing songs from the likes of Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Romeo and Juliet, the skilled musicians are destined to cast a welcome corny spell over you and your Valentine.
This day of the year is labelled as “single awareness day”, sometimes “vangover”, other times “valenterrible”, and more. However, if you’re into it, it can be pretty wonderful. And the Candlelight series is pushing lots of wonderful this February 14 and 16. Don’t miss out on what is likely to be one of the most popular Valentine’s Day plans in the city.
