You will recognize many of the songs the Griffon String Quartet will play at their series of concerts next week, even if you have never listened to classical music before. Violinists Roy Meyer and Alex Norris, violist Oryann Tsaig, and cellist Jesse Nummelin spent Thursday and Friday touring Door County, entertaining people with their festive tunes as they get ready for their performances in Green Bay, Sturgeon Bay, Brussels, and Egg Harbor. Meyer, the longest-tenured member of the Griffon String Quartet, says these are among his favorite concerts he gets to do all year long, especially when performing for kids who may not be familiar with the instruments.
You can see the full schedule and a video of their caroling stop at the NEW Radio Studios below. In addition to performing at concerts, the Griffon String Quartet does lots of outreach events in Door and Brown counties, including giving private lessons to interested musicians.
