Every so often a performance leaves us in awe of its loving sophistication,
its attention to the finest details of balance and expression.
The JUPITER STRING QUARTET, formed in 2001, is a particularly intimate group, consisting of violinists Nelson Lee and Megan Freivogel, violist Liz Freivogel (older sister of Meg), and cellist Daniel McDonough (husband of Meg, brother-in-law of Liz). As they enter their second decade of making music together, their tightly knit ensemble has firmly established itself as an important voice in the world of chamber music. In addition to their performing career, the Jupiters have joined the faculty of the University of Illinois as String Quartet-in-Residence. They also hold visiting faculty residencies at Oberlin Conservatory and Adelphi University, and have engaged in a multi-year residency at Atlanta’s beautiful Spivey Hall.
We are thrilled to join the University of Illinois Faculty as Quartet-in-Residence! Goodbye, Boston. Hello, Champaign-Urbana.
