You could hear the sounds of string instruments the next time you visit loved ones at Scandia Village in Sister Bay. Thanks to a Music That Heals Us grant, the Griffon String Quartet began weekly one-on-one sessions with Scandia Village residents who cannot get out to enjoy live music. A handful of residents are currently in the program to receive the weekly interactions with the musicians. Midsummer’s Music Executive Director Allyson Fleck says the program allows them to cover the whole spectrum of their audiences and also provides some extra benefits as well.

Fleck hopes the program can be expanded to more residents in the future. The Griffon String Quartet is scheduled to have an event at First Presbyterian Church in Green Bay on February 9th and will perform virtually as a part of Door County Reads on February 12th.
