Rags to Riches at KMFA

What do Scott Joplin, Johannes Brahms, and German-Texan immgrants all have in common? They all went from Rags to Riches!

Join us for our Beerthoven Season 11 Finale, featuring solo and duo piano rags performed by Beerthoven's own Executive Director Daniel Swayze and pianist Austin Haller, as well as Brahms' Neue Liebeslieder Op. 65 and David Hanlon's contemporary tribute to German-Texans; Texanische Liebeslieder! Featuring vocalists Trevor Shaw, Shari Wilson, Laura Mercado-Wright, and Gregory Hilliard.

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

Kids are welcome! Tickets for children as well as students through college age are available for $10. Purchase at the door or email [email protected] for advance student tickets.

This program is made possible by a generous donation from Kathy and Henry Leighton:
From the estate of Sergeant John Christopher Leighton, US Army (retired). A survivor of two combat tours in Iraq who would certainly support the desire to “offer enriching musical experiences through down-to-earth means.”

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.
