Your family can hear poetry in a way you may have never imagined this week as the Griffon String Quartet hosts a pair of concerts in northeast Wisconsin this week. The musicians will themed pieces alongside the words of Robert Frost’s poem “Stopping by Woods on a Snow Evening.” The story follows the poem, opening with a single human figure astride a gray horse, stopping along a forest's edge as the rider looks upon the trees. The Griffon String Quartet has paired its musical stylings with literature before, last year providing the soundtrack for a reading of Mo Willems’ book “Because.” Midsummer’s Music Executive Director Allyson Fleck says combining the two art forms is a natural fit for the ensemble.

The concerts will also include an instrument petting zoo where children can pick up violins and violas to try it out themselves. The free concerts are at 6:00 pm on January 11th at the Brown County Library’s Pine Street Branch in Green Bay and at 2:00 pm on January 13th at the Door County Library in Sturgeon Bay.
