A brief history of Concerts by Candle Light at Laurel Hill Mansion
The "Concerts by Candlelight" series held each summer at Laurel Hill
Mansion has been delighting citizens since its inception in 1976.
The concerts highlighting local and national musicians are organized by
Women For Greater Philadelphia’s music committee. Some of the artists
that have performed include the Jubal trio with Sue Ann Kahn, The Wister
Quartet and Susan Duer. The series which focuses on chamber music
takes place in Laurel Hill Mansion's famous octagonal room.
These popular summer concerts are held in honor of Mrs. Esther Kahn, music
chairman of Women for Greater Philadelphia, for twenty years until her death
in 1996, and Alice Nugent music committee chair for many years.
