Music Niagara is launching Brahms Oktoberfest, an innovative new pillar of the festival's programming, targeted at diverse music lovers across the region, province and beyond.

The stirring, expressive works of German composer Johannes Brahms will serve as groundwork for a series of four performances this fall. 

In tribute to the composer's storied love of beer, and to support Niagara businesses, which are key to sustaining our region’s rich cultural heritage, Music Niagara is partnering with breweries around the region to spotlight their products and venues.  

The festival has teamed up with Silversmith Brewing Company, the Exchange Brewery, Niagara Oast House Brewers, Niagara College and Blackburn Brew House.

Limited tickets are now available online at www.musicniagara.org/brahms-oktoberfest/.

Proof of vaccination is required to attend each show. The series kicks off Oct. 7 at Silversmith in Virgil, followed by shows at the Exchange Brewery in Old Town on Oct. 14, Blackburn Brew House in Niagara Falls on Oct. 18 hosted by comedian Joe Pillitteri, and a virtual performance at Oast in NOTL on Oct. 28.
