Powerful Concerts • Brilliant Musicians • Intimate Settings

Founded in 1990, Midsummer’s Music has been bringing chamber music to Door County, Wisconsin, audiences for more than three decades. Our “exciting, pulse-pounding and riveting” concerts include international premieres and feature world-class artists.

Our unique and diverse cultural, historical, and scenic musical experiences touch tens of thousands of listeners each year via live performances, radio, and social media. A multi-faceted organization featuring collaborations with local organizations and institutions, we attract musicians from Chicago’s Lyric Opera, Chicago Symphony, Milwaukee Symphony, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, Ravinia Festival, and Pro Arte Quartet, among others. Standard repertoire and gems from diverse composers attract a growing, dedicated following every year, plus thousands more who join in via Wisconsin Public Radio broadcasts, Live from Chicago’s WFMT Radio, SiriusXM, and social media giants Facebook, YouTube, and Violin Channel.

Our resident string quartet, the Griffon String Quartet, enriches the lives of children and adults throughout northeast Wisconsin through concerts, workshops, and music education. With the comprehensive programming for youth, seniors, and underserved sectors of the community added to the Midsummer’s Music calendar as of 2018, northeastern Wisconsin has its only year-round, fully professional music organization.

Collaborations include Write On, Door County poets and local artists who create original works based on the music that inspired them, and the Celebrate Water initiative (2018), which is a major programming commitment to bring awareness to water supply protection.

Midsummer’s Music attracts increasing admiration and respect from around the country, while still gaining the affection of local Door County audiences.
