Description
Serenade
The bronze sculpture, Serenade, found in the Kress Oval depicts George Kress playing his violin as wife, Marguerite, listens with a rose on her lap. A bench extends so that garden visitors can join Marguerite in appreciating the beauty of the roses.
George and Marguerite Kress practiced The Golden Rule and knew the joys that generosity and sharing reap. Each Kress generation has followed the philanthropic spirit established long ago by George's father, Frank. Residents of Brown County have experienced the good fortune of being recipients of the Kress Family,s generosity. Kress is predominant in the names of public buildings, foundations, and non-profit organizations in Brown County and Wisconsin.
George Kress life was an impressive collage that exuded excellence in business, entrepreneurship, athletics, music, and philanthropy. He was a gymnast as a young man and later, with his wife and three children, sailed and skied through many summers and winters. Marguerite died in 1996 and George in 1997. Their gifts of love to each other, their family, and the greater Green Bay area will always be symbolized by their life together as reflected in the sculpture, Serenade.
