Join us for an environment of listening, relaxation, reading and writing. From 3:00 to 5:00pm on Sunday, December 9 at the Kress Pavilion in Egg Harbor, contemporary classical and ambient music will be played via the soothing sound of LP – some of it not available digitally – to create a contemplative space to unplug and focus on enriching words in books, write down one’s own thoughts, or simply take in the beautiful view of nature from the surrounding windows.

In conjunction with Write On, Door County and the Egg Harbor Library, a selection of books on nature, poetry, and other thoughtful topics will be collected on tables in a created lounge area in the Kress Pavillion. Write On, Door County will also provide journals for people to write thoughts and ideas that come out of the experience.

While there are many opportunities in Door County to socialize, the aim for this ongoing series of Reading Meditation events is an opportunity for people to have quiet time to think and reflect in a comfortable and thought-provoking environment.

On Saturday, December 15 at 7PM we welcome Chris Rosenau as part of the BEGIN series.

Chris Rosenau is a guitar player and founding member of seminal instrumental post-rock band Pele, the American music ensemble Collections of Colonies of Bees, and Volcano Choir with Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon. He has performed for over 20 years with these bands throughout North America, Europe, and Japan.  He’s also performed in duo with Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon at the New York Guitar Festival.

His approach to the guitar takes the roots of Americana filtered through modern composition and technology. Using multiple amps and a palette of effects, he’s crafted a trademark sound that’s as uplifting and melodic as it is bold and adventurous.

Throughout his career, he has also written and performed rare solo compositions.  This performance at BEGIN in Sturgeon Bay is no exception: it has only been performed 3 times.  Once for 2500 people in Madison with Bon Iver, once for 250 people in Milwaukee, WI with Phil Cook, and once for 25 people in Milwaukee, WI with Jonah Matranga.  This performance at the BEGIN Series will be the fourth and the last.

The series is limited to forty seats per event and no advance tickets will be available. A suggested donation of $10 at the door will go directly to the performing artist.

The Artists Guild is located at 215 N. 3^rd Avenue in Sturgeon Bay. Entry for the studio is through the far right door on the front of the building, up the stairs to the second floor.
