Benefactors
Benefactors and sponsors at all levels are essential to making the Beerthoven Concert Series sustainable! Consider joining our corporate and individual Benefactors by supporting these events!
All Benefactors will receive recognition in Beerthoven programs, social media, and our website. Benefactors will also be placed on the Beerthoven mailing list to receive info on upcoming events. Thanks to our memberships with the Austin Creative Alliance and SoFlo Creative Arts, monies and in-kind donations to Beerthoven can be made tax-deductible!*

Season 01
Beerthoven’s first season, and ultimately, it’s existence, simply would not be possible without the initial support of the Austin Saengerrunde. When our founder Daniel Swayze dreamed up the first form of Beerthoven, it was Bart Goddard who saw the same dream of hope and of community and took immeasurable steps to help Beerthoven be born and take its first steps. Much like we all do in life, we are constantly growing to become far more than we were the past year, or ever dreamed of being years ago. It takes a loving environment of people who believe in your mission and passion, and it was Bart Goddard —along with the help of the whole Austin Saengerrunde— that made our dreams come true, ensuring to help Beerthoven grow into more than it conceived of in it’s infancy.
To all of you in the first year that helped us get our start, what words are there to truly express our gratitude? This thing that we’ve become, and that which we dream to grow into, would likely never have been possible without you. From the bottom of our hearts, we are eternally thankful to your generosity, guidance, and sheer will of force to help give us the foundation we needed to open our doors to this local Austin community.
Bless you all, and thank you to each and every board member, volunteer, performer, and of course above all, our audience. We are so blessed to have such a great audience that allows us to push the boundaries of our styles and explore new ventures in which to enrich this community we’re all in.
About the Austin Saengerrunde
In 1852, German settlers in Austin formed a traditional singing group. On February 8, 1879, the group officially organized as a singing society bearing the name "Saengerrunde". The Saengerrunde is the oldest ethnic organization in Austin. The Austin Saengerrunde provides an atmosphere that encourages members and guests to preserve and enjoy the German heritage.
