About Sunday Strings:
The inherent intimacy of chamber music makes it a magnificent fit for Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park. From artistry to aesthetics, the sensory interplay of Sunday Strings inspires an elevated listening experience that draws guests year after year.
This summer marks the sixth anniversary of this stellar series, which we’re delighted to celebrate with you indoors in our newly imagined Huizenga Grand Room.
Created by Grand Rapids Symphony Section Violinist Haijin Choi and presented by Greenleaf Trust, Sunday Strings offers the rare opportunity to immerse yourself in chamber music, from classical to contemporary, performed by exceptional West Michigan musicians in a setting unlike any other.
“Each performance is curated with its own unique perspective,” Choi notes. “This season, we’re thrilled to unveil new collaborations like Vox GR, an award-winning professional choral ensemble from West Michigan. There’s something universally captivating about the beauty of human voice in harmony—it’s simply awe-inspiring. You’ll leave feeling proud to be part of our local community.”
Each season also features non-string instruments. “We’re excited to highlight saxophone virtuoso Dan Graser, an associate professor at GVSU and member of the renowned Sinta Quartet,” says Choi. “He’ll perform two stunning pieces for alto saxophone and string quartet by Adolf Busch and Ellen Taffy Zwilich. Come enjoy the richness of the instrumentation, complemented by modern voice.” Your seats are waiting! Join us select Sundays in July and August. Performances are complimentary.
