Featuring the music of Beyoncé

In the hush of candlelight, a story unfolds—tender, powerful, and unapologetically true. It begins with longing and love, but deepens into something far greater: the journey of becoming.

Stories by Candlelight: The Evolution of a Woman 👑 is a soul-stirring celebration of growth, vulnerability, and feminine strength. Through the timeless music of Beyoncé, this immersive concert traces the path from innocence to identity, from heartbreak to healing, and from silence to full-throated self-love.

In the bloom of first love (Dangerously in Love, 1+1), hope glows. As illusions crack (Irreplaceable, Sandcastles), wisdom takes root. And in the power of reclamation (Flawless, Formation), a woman rises—not just to survive, but to lead, create, and shine. In the final light (Halo, Spirit, Bigger), grace meets purpose.

🎻 Performed by the Petersburg Symphony Orchestra’s string quartet and illuminated solely by the warm glow of over 1,000 flameless candles, The Evolution of a Woman is more than a tribute—it’s a reckoning. A love letter to every woman who’s ever dared to find herself.
