It's the classical take on the annual German beer festival! 

We'll have plenty of beer and music with tales from Bavaria and beyond. You'll get a sudsy history of the great composers, starting (naturally) with Bach. The legendary Canadian Brass will be on hand to perform works by Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Schumann, and Wagner, all while you sample a variety of Bavarian-style brews. WQXR's Matt Abramovitz hosts.

Lederhosen and dirndls optional. Prost!
