Grand Marais, MN- The Grand Marais Public Library will host a special fall concert featuring the Possibilities Quartet on Friday, October 16, from 6:00–7:30 PM. All repertoire performed will be new, offering returning patrons a fresh musical experience in an intimate setting. This event is free and open to the public. Appropriate for all ages, community members are invited to arrive at 5:30 PM for access to the best seats.
Formed in early 2024, the Possibilities Quartet is a regional chamber ensemble committed to bringing high-quality live music to both public audiences and schools across northern Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin. In addition to public performances, the quartet is actively engaged in music education outreach, working with middle and high school programs through performances, masterclasses, and sectional instruction. Members of the group perform with several prominent regional groups including Duluth Superior Symphony Orchestra, Borealis, Arrowhead Chorale, Lake Superior Chamber Orchestra, and LOON opera. The ensemble features four accomplished musicians: Jean Leibfried, violin; Melanie Sever, flute; Charlie Leibfried, trumpet; and Deborah Rausch, horn.
This 90-minute performance includes pieces composed and arranged by local jazz musician Greg Moore, as well as operatic and Latin pieces. The program is designed to be engaging and welcoming to the general public, with an emphasis on performance rather than formal instruction. Audience questions will be welcomed throughout the evening.
The Grand Marais Public Library increases knowledge, inspires creativity, removes barriers, and builds community across Cook County.
