ESCANABA — Bay College’s Strings on the Bay annual chamber music concert series has two more performances this summer, set for Tuesday and in August.

Founded by Arol Beck, a longtime Bay College trustee and dedicated arts supporter, Strings on the Bay has a tradition of bringing high-quality performances to the community. This enduring partnership with Bay College has helped sustain and grow the series, making it a cherished part of the local cultural landscape.

After more than 30 years of artistic leadership by Paul Lundin, the series now transitions into new hands. Longtime Strings on the Bay flutist Emily Olson will step into the role of music director. Olson also serves as artistic director of Beacon Arts Michigan, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting chamber music across the Upper Peninsula and expanding access to high-quality performances, arts education and community engagement opportunities.

All concerts will be in the Besse Center Theater on Bay College’s Escanaba Campus. Performances begin at 7 p.m. Eastern time on select Tuesdays throughout the summer.

The concerts scheduled are —

— Tuesday: “Once Upon a Piano, There Were Four Hands,” featuring Amy I-Lin Cheng and Alexander Burrow. An intimate evening featuring a mother-son duo performing solo and four-hand piano works, celebrating storytelling, legacy and new beginnings.

— Aug. 11: “American Echoes,” with the True North String Quartet. A powerful season finale honoring cultural heritage and community, including a special opportunity for local voices to participate in a collaborative musical experience.

Tickets are available online at baycollege.tix.com, at the Besse Center Box Office or at the door before each performance. Admission is $15, or $7 for students through Bay College.
