Children’s Concert Features Griffon Violinist

Griffon String Quartet violinist Roy Meyer will be featured in a free children’s concert based on the picture book Because by Mo Willems on Nov. 12, 11 am, at the Sturgeon Bay Library.

As a New York Times best-selling author and illustrator, Willems explores what inspires kids to learn music and audiences to attend concerts. He composes a powerful tale of chance, discovery, persistence and magic in his moving story of a young girl’s journey to center stage.

Meyer has been concertmaster of the Illinois Symphony Orchestra since 2015 and is a frequent substitute violinist for the Sarasota Orchestra and Chicago Philharmonic. As a chamber musician, he performs at the Apollo Music Festival and Illinois Chamber Music Festival. Film credits include Amazon Prime’s Mozart in the Jungle.
