Two classic art forms will come together on Friday at River North Brewery — cello solos from Johann Sebastian Bach, and well-crafted beer.
“The whole idea behind Bach and Beer is to get the audience to look back at these old traditions, and see how both Steuart as a musician and how the craft brewer is incorporating these traditions for the modern listener, or the modern beer drinker,” said Michelle Pincombe, who has been touring the country with her husband, Steuart Pincombe, for the past year.
On Thursday, Steuart will come to River North to sample the wares and choose three beers that match three of the Bach Cello Suites from his repertoire. On Friday, concert-goers can have a glass of the paired beer in hand as they listen to him give a concert. The concert is name-your-own-price; the beer is not.
