Howard County is not only a fantastic arts and culture destination, but also one of the best places in America to educate and raise our next generation.

For all of its fifty years, Candlelight has enriched the lives of countless young people from all parts of the community. This first Free-for-All Candlelight concert will showcase the most promising young musical talents from our area—winners of competitions, graduates of local schools, and students from Howard County's abundant local music studios.
