Jupiter String Quartet Returns to Adelphi PAC - February 28
Garden City, NY (02/19/2025) — The acclaimed and world-renowned Jupiter String Quartet will return to Adelphi University's Performing Arts Center on Friday, February 28. The ensemble will present an evening of contemporary and classical music at 8 p.m. in Adelphi PAC's Concert Hall.
Based at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and giving concerts all over the country, the Jupiter String Quartet is a particularly intimate group, consisting of violinists Nelson Lee and Meg Freivogel, violist Liz Freivogel (Meg's older sister), and cellist Daniel McDonough (Meg's husband, Liz's brother-in-law). The Jupiter String Quartet has been performing together since 2001. Exuding an energy that is at once friendly, knowledgeable, and adventurous, the Quartet celebrates every opportunity to bring their close-knit and lively style to audiences.
The Jupiter Quartet brings its well-honed musical chemistry to three works shaped by bold musicality and meaningful thematic inspirations, written between the early 19th century and the present day, including Warmth from Other Suns by Carlos Simon (2020); String Quartet No. 3, Glitter, Doom, Shards, Memory by Shulamit Ran (2013); and String Quartet No. 13 in B-flat Major, Op. 130 with the Grosse Fuge by Ludwig van Beethoven (1825).
