Madeline Island Chamber Music is devoted to educating and nurturing the next generation of musicians through concentrated study and performance of chamber music on verdant, historic Madeline Island.
Upcoming Events
Koa String Quartet Concert
Friday, July 18, 5:30pm Bayfield Presbyterian Church
Join the award-winning Koa String Quartet for an evening of captivating chamber music. Experience a vibrant program of works by Haydn, Paul Wiancko, and Brahms, showcasing their artistry, versatility, and the spirit of strength and courage embodied in their name.
Madeline Island Chamber Music is sustained by the generosity of individuals who believe in the transformative power of chamber music. While ticket sales play an important role, they cover only a small portion of what it takes to bring our programs to life.
As we continue to grow and plan for future seasons, your support ensures that MICM remains a vibrant, accessible, and artistically excellent community for emerging musicians.
