The players of the Jupiter String Quartet are on the rise. The group was recently awarded the Cleveland Quartet Award by Chamber Music America, a prize which “honors and promotes a rising young string quartet whose artistry demonstrates that it is in the process of establishing a major career.” From 2007-2010, they will also join Lincoln Center’s Chamber Music Society Two for a residency, and have been awarded the Netherland America Prize, which will sponsor a tour of the Netherlands in the Spring of 2008.

Founded in Cleveland in 2001, the quartet has been recipient of numerous honors and has performed at New York’s Lincoln Center, Boston’s Jordan Hall and London’s Wigmore Hall, and has toured extensively throughout the United States. They have been enthusiastically received at major music festivals including the Aspen Music Festival, the Caramoor International Music Festival, and the Yellow Barn Music Festival. Off stage, the Jupiter String Quartet also places a strong emphasis on developing relationships with future classical music audiences through outreach work in the school system and educational performances. They also enjoy working with aspiring chamber musicians, and have served on the faculties of the chamber music programs at the Snowmass Suzuki Institute and the Austin Chamber Music Festival. From 2004-06, the Jupiter String Quartet was enrolled in the Professional String Quartet Training Program, earning Master of Music degrees in Chamber Music, at New England Conservatory. They still reside in Boston.
