Old South Church in Boston

Old South Church in Boston-set on Copley Square in the heart of the Back Bay-is a soaring High Victorian Gothic landmark known for its richly detailed interior and dramatic sense of scale. Built in the 1870s, the sanctuary and chapel spaces pair ornate woodwork, stained glass, and lofty arches with warm acoustics that make live music feel immersive and intimate. For Candlelight concerts, the church becomes an especially atmospheric setting: candlelit aisles, resonant strings and piano, and a historic backdrop that heightens every crescendo, from classical favorites to modern tributes.
