Letters to Faith

Inversion's chorus Coda is back in Beerthoven's house for this special, one-night-only event with more new and original music you can raise a glass to!

Coda, under the direction of Trevor Shaw, will be bringing to musical life meaningful letters composed by or sent to individual members of the chorus. Centered around composer Adrienne Inglis’s beautiful, sometimes funny, original setting of actual letters to her Aunt Faith, Letters to Faith will remind us of our most cherished friends and family, our shared history, and our hope for future generations. The concert will include music from Inversion’s resident composers Evan Blache’, Benjamin Dia, Marjorie Halloran, and Trevor Shaw, along with beer, snacks, and audience singalongs.

Thanks to our sponsors, we will be serving warm pastries generously provided by Easy Tiger. And with each musical epistle you can wet your whistle with great beers from 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 $5. Purchase at the door or email [email protected] for advance student tickets.

This project is supported in part by the City of Austin Economic Development Department.

Parking Info:

Look for parking in the state garages immediately surrounding the Saengerrunde Hall facilities. If these are unavailable or closed off, try the Texas Capitol Visitors Center, three blocks south of the Saengerrunde on San Jacinto. Alternatively, the Bullock Museum parking garage is typically available.

During most of our events these are open and free of charge (after 6 pm weekdays or all day Sunday). 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 or find on-street parking. There is a charge for on-street parking, except on Sundays.

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.
