Here’s a contemporary take on the traditional dinner and a show format. National YoungArts Foundation will kick off Pairings @ Ted’s, a series of dining experiences with Mezzo-Soprano Amanda Crider of Seraphic Fire and IlluminArts, joined by Baritone Gabriel Preisser and special guests from Musimelange. Themed “Melodies of the Macabre,” the program will be filled with spooky classics and haunting delights, complemented by three-course prix fixe dinner ($95 p/p) by Starr Catering Group, or à la carte dining with general admission ($35). Doors open at 7 and the show begins at 8:30 p.m.
