Memberships

It’s so easy to become a member – and you don’t need to be German or a singer to join! Our members are the core of our community and receive several different benefits; we hold a weekly Member’s Night where everyone can come together. We offer both singer memberships and non-singer memberships.

Our Beethoven Männerchor and Beethoven Damenchor participate in regional, state, and national Sängerfests. These events are only open to members of the choir.

What a great experience we had at the annual Community Band festival on Sat. Love the German everything reminds of both Sholtz Biergarten in Austin and Krause's in New Braunfels. Didn't try the food but it looked good too.

Great, relaxed atmosphere. No vegan options, just German food. Fairly inexpensive. Great place to visit with friends.

This place is awesome! The food was excellent - Guloush, brats, and German staples! Sarah Marie was incredibly warm and told us about her favorites - we’ll be back!
