Budmo! Beerthoven is raising a glass in tribute to our Ukrainian friends, neighbors, and allies in this concert celebrating Ukrainian chamber music.
Come to hear hidden gems from the art song repertoire by composers such as Mykola Lysenko, Boris Lyatoshinsky, and Yakiv Stepovy. We'll also be featuring gorgeous romantic-era works for piano, violin, and cello by Reinhold Glière, Viktor Kosenko, and others. Our featured performers for this event are vocalists Mikhail Smigelski and Elisabeta Racolta, violinist Christabel Lin, cellist Daniel Kopp, and pianist Peir-Shiuan Tang.
As a show of support for survivors of the war in Ukraine, Beerthoven will be donating 10% of ticket sale revenues to the Liberty Ukraine Foundation; an Austin-based nonprofit corporation fundraising for Ukrainian residents, servicemen and women, first-aid workers, medical facilities, and victims of the war in Ukraine, as well as Austin's Ukrainian School, which services refugees who have fled the war. We will also be highlighting ways to donate directly to Liberty Ukraine directly online and on-site at our events.
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 daniel@beerthoven.com for advance student tickets.
Additional Performance Saturday, November 5th at 3:00 pm
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 78746 (West Lake Hills, Austin). Visit this page for tickets to this special house concert performance.
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 Moody 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:
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 additional safety requirements. 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.
