Griffon String Quartet's musical outreach for young and old

Midsummers Music’s Griffon String Quartet is working through the school year of outreach and performances this winter. Executive Director Allyson Fleck says the resident ensemble, which operates from September through May, is busy providing 100 free events in Door County, Green Bay, and beyond. The four-person ensemble of professional musicians and teachers works with youth education as part of the Einstein series.

 

 

 

The Griffon String Quartet also offers a senior health and wellness program called the B Double Sharp that brings music to the elderly that has been shown to help prevent the acceleration of dementia.

 

 

 

Fleck adds that the Griffon String Quartet's third pillar of activity during the off-season is community-embedded events and performances, including pop-up concerts and formal presentations around the area. The upcoming list of performances and events is below.
