You do not have to spend a fortune to experience the works of Schubert, Mendelssohn, Haydn, and other chamber music composers in a live setting. The Griffon String Quartet launches its “Gather with the Griffon” concert series on October 17th when they play First Presbyterian Church in Green Bay at noon. The free midday concert series features Roy Meyer and Alex Norris on violins, Oryann Tsaig on viola, and Jesse Nummelin on cello. The musicians pick the selections based on what they are currently playing for other performances and of personal interest. Midsummer’s Music Executive Director Allyson Fleck says the series also allows guests to ask questions about the music and the performers so they can learn more about chamber music.

Funded in part by grants from the Greater Green Bay Community Foundation, the Wisconsin Arts Board, and Little Eddie Big Cup (Door County Community Foundation), the “Gather with the Griffon” series will make its 2025/2026 Door County Debut on October 22nd at MUSE in Sturgeon Bay at 1 p.m.
