Cellist and violinist Philip and Hirono Borter of Duo-B are coming back to Beerthoven and they've "ginned" up a program you won't want to miss!

Origin Stories traces the development of various classic genres from Polish mazurkas through Brazilian choro, all the way to works by Villa-Lobos and Duo-B's 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.

Thanks to our sponsors, we will also be serving warm pastries, cold beer, and hand foraged gins generously provided by Easy Tiger, Lazarus Brewing, and Wild Gins, as well as wine and non-alcoholic beverages--all at no additional cost!

This performance will take place at Esquina Tango, an East Austin Latin cultural center. Since its founding in 2006 and the renovation of an old church into a dance studio in one of Austin's most diverse neighborhoods, Esquina Tango has provided the Austin community with over 5,000 classes and more than 240 cultural events and hopes to continue to positively change peoples’ lives through dance and culture.

Kids are welcome! Tickets for children as well as students through college age are available for $10. Purchase at the door or email daniel@beerthoven.com for advance student tickets.

This project is supported in part by an Elevate Grant of Austin Arts, Culture, Music, & Entertainment.
