Bach, beer pair up for a different kind of classical event

Bach and Brew is tuned up to surface in Seattle’s Machine House Brewery. “The combination works really well for our audiences,” Steuart explained by cellphone while camped in Wyoming. Certainly Steuart has challenged himself with his choice of music. Asked to explain what Bach’s music means to him, he paused for the only time during our chat before responding.

Key Takeaways:

• Combining beer and classical music will diversify audience.
• Choosing to not amplify this music caused more intent listening.
• This less-formal approach made for a more relaxing experience for audience and musicians.

“In an appeal to young music lovers, the Pincombes also chucked a set admission fee in favor of a “name your own ticket price.””
