Music and beer

The River Oaks Chamber Orchestra will celebrate 2015 with craft beer and traditional beer-hall music at its annual Beer and Brass event at Saint Arnold Brewing Company on Jan. 8. Craft beers brewed by St. Arnold will pair with ROCO’s brass quintet, performing selections arranged by violist Lorento Golofeev. ROCO strings and percussion will add to the revelry on many of the musical pieces. The evening starts at 6 p.m. at the brewery, 2000 Lyons Ave. Tickets cost $35, and tables are $350.
