Griffon String Quartet Awarded Green Bay Grant

Current members of the Griffon String Quartet. Submitted.

Midsummer’s Music’s resident ensemble, the Griffon String Quartet, received a grant for its work with older adults from the Tom and Jan Krautkramer Family Fund of the Greater Green Bay Community Foundation. 

The quartet offers B Double Sharp performances for patients with Alzheimer’s or dementia as well as their caregivers. The events are intended to create a welcoming atmosphere in which people can share their feelings about memory loss and connect with others who are facing the same concerns. 

“Many times, a caregiver will tell us following a program that their loved one had a great day thanks to our music performance and interaction,” Midsummer’s Music Executive Director Allyson Fleck said. “This grant will help sustain and expand our important work with older adults in Green Bay.”
