Candlelight: Tribute to Lauryn Hill

St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church, Brooklyn Heights

4.9/5

About 366 reviews on Fever

Lauryn Hill and the Fugees for string quartet, from Killing Me Softly to Ex-Factor, by candlelight at St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church in Brooklyn Heights. Two evenings at 20:45, 14 November 2026 and 21 January 2027, from 39.42 dollars with fees.

Rated 4.9 from 366 reviews on Fever on 29 October 2026, this is one of the best-rated Candlelight shows in New York. The programme covers three sides of the same story. From the Fugees come Killing Me Softly With His Song, Ready or Not and Fu-Gee-La; from Lauryn Hill's solo work, Doo Wop (That Thing), Ex-Factor, Can't Take My Eyes Off of You, Nothing Even Matters, To Zion and Everything Is Everything; and from her Fugees bandmate Wyclef Jean, Perfect Gentleman and Gone Till November. The Highline String Quartet plays all eleven.

Most of the solo songs come from The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, her 1998 debut, which Wikipedia describes as almost entirely written and produced by Hill and predominantly a neo soul and R&B record. That is music built on melody and harmony, which is why it moves well to strings: Ex-Factor and To Zion are slow songs a cello can carry, while Doo Wop and Fu-Gee-La give the quartet rhythm to play with. Fever says the concert is a tribute and is not linked to or endorsed by the artist.

Both dates start at 20:45, which leaves time for dinner in Brooklyn Heights first. St. Ann & the Holy Trinity is an 1847 Gothic Revival church with its original stained glass, and 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge is a 17-minute walk. The November date is the cheaper, from 39.42 dollars against 45.90 in January. For doors, zones and the format, see our full guide to Candlelight in New York.
