During the year I am Assistant Principal bassoon of the Indianapolis Symphony, but each summer season I look forward to my “working vacation” at Baroque on Beaver! It is always special to come back and I truly enjoy my time with islanders and fellow musicians. I appreciate the opportunity to play everything from jazz to chamber music to brand-new compositions - with friends, for our terrific audiences. – Mark Ortwein, Principal Bassoon
“Great summer events really help drive people to the Island and the Baroque on Beaver festival is one of them. Every year hundreds of people are introduced to “Island life” while attending the week long festival and many become repeat visitors which is very important to our operation. The Island is a unique and beautiful place. The music festival brings amazing musicians to a setting that is unlike many they have performed in before. The Island community gets to enjoy great performances while sharing with artists and visitors what it’s like to be part of the Island family. The week-long festival really provides an opportunity for the community to embrace the performers and the performances.” -Tim McQueer President and General Manager Beaver Island Boat Company
