About this event

Candlelight brings its by-candlelight string sessions to the James Fairfax Theatre at the National Gallery of Australia, and this one's a Pink Floyd programme played by a string quartet courtesy of Phoenix Collective.

Worth being clear: this is a tribute, not the band. Pink Floyd don't perform, and the night isn't affiliated with the group or its estate.

Expect the familiar run of Floyd material reworked for strings, from Wish You Were Here and Comfortably Numb through to Shine On You Crazy Diamond. It's a 65-minute set, doors 30 minutes prior, with no late entry once it starts.
