Featuring the music of Bruno Mars

Step into a glowing world of love, laughter, and everything in between. The Story of Love, the opening night of the 2025 Stories by Candlelight series, takes you on a romantic journey — told entirely through the unforgettable music of Bruno Mars.

From the spark of attraction (That’s What I Like), to playful dating (Finesse), deep commitment (Treasure, Leave the Door Open), and tender vulnerability (Just the Way You Are), this immersive evening captures every phase of love — including the heartbreaks (When I Was Your Man) and the rise that follows (Uptown Funk, 24K Magic).

Illuminated solely by the warm glow of over 1,000 flameless candles, the Petersburg Symphony Orchestra’s string quartet brings this romantic journey to life inside one of Petersburg’s most intimate historic venues.
