On October 13, 2019, the Griffon String Quartet launched the Green Bay Chamber Music Society at a home concert hosted by Mary and Sam Frantz. It was a memorable evening of music, food, and friendship.
Our concerts, featuring the Griffon String Quartet in beautiful home settings, offer a one-of-a-kind experience that deeply moves audiences and enriches the Green Bay Community. Your membership will directly support youth education and senior wellness programs, making a lasting difference in lives while rewarding you with unforgettable musical evenings.
