Murder-Mystery EveningSaturday, October 31, 6 PM, A Taste of Europe Restaurant, Cobleskill, NYCan violent felons be cured by music? Psychiatrist-conductor Cornwall Mellish believes so. At a dinner party featuring a performance by an ensemble of misfits and maniacs, he is successfully presenting the proof of his research – until someone disproves Dr. Mellish’s theory by murdering him. You’re one of the psychiatrists in attendance, but you won’t need your DSM-5. You’ll be solving the mystery and identifying the killer by following the clues that point to a complicated series of relationships...and a thirst for revenge! Celebrate Hallowe’en by unravelling this “Murder in C Major” with the misfits and maniacs of the Musicians of Ma’alwyck. Dine on the exquisite prepara-tions of Chef Jeannette Balins at A Taste of Europe as you weave together the strands of the solution. Strictly limited to 40 guests.
