Chamber music featuring Mozart, magic, imbibing, and bowling!
About this event
Legend has it Mozart wrote his trio for piano, clarinet, and viola after a rousing game of nine pins. Decades later, Schumann wrote a magical trio for the same instrumentation. We sensed a theme so we're taking a few pages out of Rip Van Winkle's book for this concert of music, magic, imbibing, and bowling, featuring Mozart's "Kegelstatt" Trio, Schumann's "Fairy Tales" trio and Muczynski's Time Pieces. We're pleased to welcome back violist Luis Bellorin (formerly of the Thalea String Quartet), pianist Linda Angkasa, and clarinetist Luz Sarmiento as our featured artists. Guests who attend Friday and Sunday, the 25th and 27th, will enjoy the performance at the Austin Saengerrunde, upstairs from their historic bowling alley. Our Saturday, March 26th performance will take place at a private mystery venue (details below). This is one program you won't want to sleep through!
To celebrate our return to our musical home (and our Rip Van Winkle theme), we will be offering BOWLING on the Saengerrunde's historic lanes before and after our performance on Sunday, the 27th. Bowling will take place before the show from 2 to 3 pm and after the show 5 to 6 pm.
An additional special feature in this program will be local magician Dylan Love, performing dazzling tricks that will capture your imagination during our two intermissions at each performance.
Thanks to our sponsors, we will be serving warm pastries and cold beer generously provided by Easy Tiger and Lazarus Brewing--at no additional cost!
Beerthoven events are family-friendly; kids are welcome! Student tickets are available for $10 at the door. Email daniel@beerthoven.com in advance for tickets for children.
House Concert Saturday, March 26th:
We're excited to continue expanding our offerings by producing house concerts at private venues as well as small public venues around the city. If you'd enjoy a smaller crowd and a more intimate experience, this performance is for you!
Out of respect for the privacy of our hosts, we will only reveal the exact location to ticket purchasers. This program's mystery venue will host our Saturday performance in zip code 78612 (Cedar Park). *Note: Eventbrite only allows us to list one venue for a given program; if you purchase a ticket for Saturday the 26th, please ignore them when they give the Saengerrunde as the location.
Parking Info:
Look for parking in the state parking garages immediately surrounding the Saengerrunde facilities. If these are unavailable or closed off, try the Texas Capitol Visitors Center, three blocks south of the Saengerrunde on San Jacinto.
During most of our events these are open and free of charge. Sometimes there is a parking attendant charging $7-10, -especially when concurrent events take place in the Erwin Center.
We cannot guarantee their availability so we would recommend coming early in case you need to use the Capitol Visitors Center garage (14th and San Jacinto) or find on-street parking.
Safety Protocols:
Beerthoven will follow federal and local guidelines closely to determine appropriate safety protocols in the event of another Covid surge. As of this writing, the CDC has determined that the level of risk in Austin is low. If this situation holds we therefore intend to produce the concert without requiring masking or social distancing. In the event of another surge we may adjust our requirements and notify our ticketed guests in advance of the performance. We encourage all members of our community to get vaccinated and boosted as this is the best way to ensure that our concert can proceed without further safety requirements.
