The artists featured during the Midsummer's Music Autumn Series will change along with the leaves you see along Door County roadways next month. Midsummer's Music launches its second annual Autumn Series in Sister Bay and Egg Harbor, with the UW-Madison-based Pro Arte Quartet headlining the performances with pieces by Schubert on October 5th and 6th. The following weekend, Midsummer's Griffon String Quartet will host its performances on October 12th and 13th in Sister Bay and Sturgeon Bay. Musicians Roy Meyer, Alex Norris, Jesse Nummelin, and Oryann Tsaig have performed around the country with different ensembles. Still, they all agreed that there is something special about their performances in Door County.
Midsummer's Music closes its Autumn Series on October 19th and 20th, with violinist David Perry and pianist Jeanine Yu performing the works of Brahms, Clarke, and Beethoven in Sister Bay and Egg Harbor. You can find the full schedule and ticketing information below and a link to listen to our interview and performance with the Griffon String Quartet.
