Masters Series 1 | Jupiter Quartet with Phillip Ying, viola & David Ying, cello

The Jupiter String Quartet, an ensemble of eloquent intensity, has matured into one of the mainstays of the American chamber-music scene.”

— The New Yorker

The Jupiter Quartet is joined by Phillip and David Ying, violist and cellist of the Ying Quartet, for a program of remarkable string sextets. Founded in 2001, the Jupiter Quartet is a tight-knit ensemble which is firmly established as an important voice in the world of chamber music. The Quartet exudes an energy that is at once friendly, knowledgeable and adventurous.  The quartet has performed across the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, and in some of the world’s finest halls, including Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center.  They were the grand prize winners in the 2004 Banff International String Quartet Competition and received an Avery Fisher Career Grant in 2008.
