Don’t forget the coral or emeralds if you are attending any Midsummer’s Music shows this year. The chamber music organization is celebrating its 35th anniversary with another season of performances in unique venues across the peninsula. Founded in 1990 by Jim and Jean Berkenstock, Midsummer’s Music has grown from just a couple of concerts inside somebody’s home to dozens at unique venues from Washington Island to Green Bay. Carrying on that tradition is essential to Executive Director Allyson Fleck.

The 35th season of Midsummer’s Music begins June 12th at the Kress Pavilion in Egg Harbor, with the ensemble highlighting the works of Clara and Robert Schumann. The organization will celebrate the milestone with its Big Top Door County event on July 16th at the Berkenfeld Estate in Baileys Harbor before concluding it Labor Day at Bjorklunden. Before then, the Griffon String Quartet will host three performances this month and next month, including April 17th for a noon performance at First Presbyterian Church in Green Bay, followed by another at Country View Farm in Baileys Harbor on April 24th at 1 p.m.
