Combing the Beach

Hoppy Holidays with Tinsel Singers

December 20th and 21st

For the holidays, you can't beat hearing the Tinsel Singers while sipping hot cocoa and cold beer on the lawn of the historic Neill-Cochran House Museum. Join us for these jazzy and sophisticated arrangements of traditional carols sung by some of Austin's best vocalists!

Pipe Dreams

February 27th

Beerthoven is teaming up with the Austin Chapter of the American Guild of Organists for an organ concert like no other, featuring a rare and magnificent digital organ brought in for one night only at Saengerrunde Hall! The program will feature several of Austin's organically-grown talent as well as baroque trumpeter Adam Gordon.

From Seed to Sound

May 7, 9, 10

Cellist and violinist Philip and Hirono Borter of Duo-B return with a program that traces an arc from Polish mazurkas through Brazilian choro, all the way to works by Villa-Lobos and their own original compositions. The program also reimagines the music of J.S. Bach in a modern context, reflecting on how foundational ideas continue to inspire new generations of composers and performers.

What inflation? We've got the same prices as yester-year; by purchasing a Beerthoven Season Pass you'll get a $125 value for $110!

Performance times and locations will vary; see specific program ticketing pages as they are published for exact timing and location details. Primary venues include Saengerrunde Hall, the Neill-Cochran House Museum.

Beerthoven events are General Admission only and do not offer assigned seating.

Season Passes are available only until September 28th--the end of our first program of the season--so act fast!

About Beerthoven:

The critically-acclaimed Beerthoven Concert Series is a down-to-earth, approachable celebration of classical song, chamber music, and beer; a quirky mixture of Bach and Doppelbock in unique and intimate settings. Beerthoven finds its inspiration in the musical and festive events of the Austin Saengerrunde as well as the private "salon" concerts of Beethoven's time. Beerthoven events feature live classical music, free beer, and other refreshments and snacks in an all-inclusive manner. There is no backstage here; audience members may even find themselves standing in line for beer with the performers.

Programming is intentionally diverse in tone, instrumentation, and featured performers. Beerthoven supports local artists by offering fair compensation and unique performance venues. Audience members will find our prices at the very low end of typical classical concerts--especially for students and especially given the high quality of the exbeerience.
