The Paradies String Quartet will play popular music spanning the 1960s through the present inside the candlelit First Presbyterian Church of Dunedin on Friday, Nov. 20.

The concert is part of a two-day event called Candlelight & Strings: A Coastal Arts Weekend in Dunedin. Dunedin Public Theater is presenting the weekend, which is funded by a Creative Pinellas grant through Pinellas County arts tourism dollars, according to the theater's event listing.

A courtyard reception opens at 6:30 p.m. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the concert runs from 7:30 to 8:45 p.m.

General admission tickets start at $20. A VIP tier is listed at $55 and, according to Creative Loafing Tampa Bay, includes a pre-concert reception at Stirling Wine. Creative Loafing also lists a $40 reserved seating option. Tickets are available through Zeffy.

The event falls during the inaugural Pinellas County Theatre Week, running Nov. 9-22. That means buy-one-get-one-free tickets are available, according to Visit St. Pete-Clearwater's event page. Theatre Week is funded by Creative Pinellas and Visit St. Pete-Clearwater and covers 36 performances across six of the county's seven professional theater companies.

The weekend does not end Friday night. On Saturday, Nov. 21, attendees can book a rooftop continental breakfast at The Fenway Hotel overlooking St. Joseph Sound. Cellist Liz Glushko performs live from 10 a.m. to noon while guests meet the quartet members.

The Fenway Hotel had offered a three-night Stay & Play lodging package for Nov. 19-22, according to the theater's event page. The group booking deadline listed was Oct. 16.
