Jim & Jean Berkenstock Legacy Society

The Jim and Jean Berkenstock Legacy Society was founded in 2019 to pay tribute to the foresight of Midsummer’s Music founders – Jim and Jean Berkenstock.

They believed that if you bring quality chamber music to Door County, “they” will come. Were they ever right! For 31 years, through the guidance of Jim and Jean, the Midsummer musicians have wowed audiences in venues around Door County.
