The Beerthoven Concert Series has been bringing high quality, classical chamber music to informal and approachable settings in Austin, TX since 2014--and we couldn't do it without our volunteers!
Beerthoven Volunteer Crew is a cool and sophisticated bunch that knows how to get the job done and have a great time while doing it. Come take part in this training event so that YOU can be part of bringing great classical music (and beer!) to your community.

Parking
Look for parking in the state parking garages immediately surrounding the Saengerrunde facilities. These are generally open and available after 6 pm weekdays and on weekends. Sometimes there is a parking attendant charging $30, especially when concurrent events take place in the Moody Center. In that event, you may look for parking on street or at the Capitol Visitors Parking Garage, three blocks south of the Saengerrunde on San Jacinto (this is typically free). The Bullock Museum also offers an inexpensive parking option.
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.
