Strings on the Bay, the summer chamber
music series presented by Bay de Noc Community College returns with a slate of
fantastic concerts. The concerts are all at the Besse Center on Main Campus in
Escanaba on select Tuesdays in the summer. This summer, the concerts will have
a new starting time of 7pm EST.
On Tuesday, July 26 at 7pm,
the series presents the Lansing Symphony Brass Quintet in “Brass Around the
World. The group is led by Neil Mueller,
trumpet professor at Central Michigan University. Other members of the group
are faculty members of Michigan State University and Oberlin Conservatory. Come
hear power under control!
The summer series closes with the True
North Quartet on Tuesday, August 9 at 7pm. This string quartet has been
bringing their unique programs to Strings on the Bay since 2010 and is an
audience favorite. This year the program is titled “First and Only.” They will
perform the first quartets of Felix Mendelssohn and Peter Tchaikovsky and the
only foray into quartet writing by George Gershwin – his beautiful “Lullaby.”
Tickets are available through the Bay college website: www.baycollege.tix.com,
in-person at the Besse Center box office, or at the door prior to each concert.
Tickets are $6.00 for all students and Bay employees, $12.00 for adults, and $30.00
for three adult tickets.
