The music of Taylor Swift, Coldplay and Queen features in a forthcoming series of Candlelight Concerts.

Thousands of candles will illuminate the former Holy Trinity Church in the East End and Sunderland Minster, in the city centre, for a series of concerts being bought to the city by global entertainment platform, Fever, whose candlelit experiences have wowed audiences across the world.

Around 3000 LED candles are used in the concerts, which transforms the space, while a string quartet performs tracks from a range of genres.
