Einstein Series Programs
The Griffon String Quartet members currently work with children in northeast Wisconsin via the Einstein Series, a highly interactive program for school-age children. Students participate in private or group lessons or educational outreach programs. The quartet visits schools and classrooms to perform and discuss string quartet music, relating it specifically to relevant topics in their studies and their lives.
B Double Sharp Programs
The Quartet’s B Double Sharp program presents mini concerts for the aging or disabled, as well as their caregivers. Targeting people with Alzheimer’s and dementia, in association with the Door County Medical Center and Scandia Village, the quartet creates a welcoming atmosphere where people can share their observations and feelings about the journey of aging or memory loss. Attendees gather to connect with others who are facing the same questions and concerns and begin to build a community of support. These concerts support those individuals with music and learning.
Community-Embedded Programs
Additional Community-Embedded programs are all-inclusive for families. The community performances strengthen the musical infrastructure by demystifying chamber music and creating an experiential bridge from short presentations to full classical concerts. The quartet performs pop-up programs in restaurants, coffee shops, businesses, art galleries, museums, and various other spaces. These events provide surprising and fun exposure for the public, demonstrating that world-class artistry is at home in everyday settings.
