Winners of the Banff International String Quartet Competition and the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition, the Jupiter String Quartet has been celebrated as “an ensemble of eloquent intensity ... one of the mainstays of the American chamber-music scene” (The New Yorker). For a special concert at the Library of Congress, the Jupiter Quartet will work with the Library’s exceptional Stradivari instruments, preparing a program that spans both timeless classics and contemporary gems. Their program will feature works by Carlos Simon, Shulamit Ran and Beethoven, promising an evening that highlights their signature artistry and depth.
