About the Ensemble
One of the most vibrant and engaging quartets of its generation, the Griffon String Quartet was formed in the fall of 2018 as a collaboration led by Midsummer’s Music. GSQ enriches the lives of children and adults throughout northeast Wisconsin through concerts, workshops, and music education outreach. The extraordinary musicians, who have performed with orchestras and ensembles around the globe, are equally dedicated to music education and inspiring the next generation of music lovers. Each member of the Griffon String Quartet has advanced degrees and significant professional experience, both as educators and performers, and they have been recognized for “their youthful vigor, which is absolutely infectious!”
Members of the Quartet include violinists Roy Meyer and Alex Norris, violist Oryann Tsaig, and cellist Jesse Nummelin. Extraordinary musicians who have performed with orchestras and ensembles around the globe and have won prestigious music competitions and awards, they are equally dedicated to music education and inspiring the next generation of music lovers.
