Bachtoberfest may be the only event that can successfully pair classical musical with beer and turn it into a fun and classy night on the town, German style. Christopher Warren-Green will conduct the Charlotte Symphony as it performs works by German composers Bach, Mozart, Wagner and Schubert. Among the most anticipated performances of the night are Bach's Double Violin Concerto and Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries." Local breweries Rock Bottom and Triple C will serve free beer samples after the event, and authentic German delicacies and treats will be provided by Waldhorn Restaurant and Mostly Chocolate.

$18-$28. Oct. 25, 7:30 p.m. Knight Theater, 430 S. Tryon St.
