Viridian Strings (June 2026)

Every time the ensemble known as Viridian Strings performs in northern Michigan, they have a slightly different configuration. Violinist Nathan Meltzer, double bassist Nina Bernat and pianist Umi Garrett are joining Viridian Strings founders Joe Skerik (viola) and Kyle Stachnik (cello) for a series of recitals in northern Michigan this week. The musicians visited IPR's Studio A to perform movements from quintets by Franz Schubert and Ralph Vaughan Williams.
