Candlelight: Tribute to Michael Jackson

Candlelight: Tribute to Michael Jackson at Falls Penthouse at Riverside Place

A thousand candles. A string quartet. Michael Jackson's songs stripped down and rebuilt from scratch. Candlelight: Tribute to Michael Jackson takes the hits you've heard a hundred times and gives them a classical treatment that asks you to listen differently. On Friday, November 20, 2026, at 6:30 PM, Falls Penthouse at Riverside Place becomes the setting for this one-hour live performance. If you've ever wondered what Billie Jean or Thriller might sound like without the synths and the spectacle, here's your answer.

The program includes fifteen songs: I Want You Back, Rock With You, Human Nature, Man in the Mirror, Smooth Criminal and others that defined Jackson's career. You know the melodies. The string arrangement introduces tension, warmth and phrasing you won't hear on the original recordings. Live musicians respond to the room, to each other and to the audience in ways a recorded track cannot.

Assigned seating means you arrive early, claim your spot and settle in before the first note. The venue opens forty-five minutes ahead, giving you time to take in the candlelit space without rushing. Bring someone who grew up with these songs or someone hearing them for the first time. Either way, you share sixty minutes of music that invites conversation afterward.

A Friday tribute concert gives your week an endpoint worth planning around. No elaborate occasion required, just a reason to leave the house and hear live music in Spokane. Explore ticket options for Candlelight: Tribute to Michael Jackson and make space for an evening that replaces routine with something you'll actually remember.
