A local musician performed a truly unique solo concert Friday at the historic Teweles & Brandeis Granary in Sturgeon Bay. Despite the postponements of live concerts in front of audiences for the foreseeable future, Hans Christian played his 120-year-old German-made cello inside the 118-year-old structure in an impromptu, pop-up performance. With the assistance of Christie Weber and Shawn Fairchild from the Sturgeon Bay Historical Society, Christian hoisted his cello into the rafters of the partially-stored building. Overcoming his condition of vertigo and finding enough elbow-room to perform, Christian says the acoustics in the historic building was great.
Christian adds that he was improvising and not playing any arranged piece of music.
