Another wonderful experience listening to Whitney Houston classics. Only complaint were people talking, making noise, and camera lights/flashes but overall the experience was enjoyable and I look forward to going to more concerts! 🎻🎵🎶🕯

The tribute to Whitney Houston by the Candlelight Concert was amazing. These musicians were in an intimate arena of candles that set a beautiful tone of memories of several eras of Whitney! I hope to see more of these events as they come to this area! Thank you for the experience and for allowing Hayti Heritage Center to host in our Bull City! Again, thank you !

We went Hayti for candlelight concert. Spellbinding renditions of "Viva la Vida" and the mesmerizing "A Sky Full Of Stars." The ambiance created by these Coldplay classics, combined with the gentle illumination of candles, made it a night to remember.
