Jupiter String Quartet

The Jupiter String Quartet is a particularly intimate group, consisting of violinists Nelson Lee and Meg Freivogel, Violist Liz Freivogal, who is Meg’s sister, and cellist Daniel McDonough, Meg’s husband.  Now enjoying their 19^th year together this tight-knit ensemble is firmly established as an important voice in the world of chamber music.  The New Yorker claims, “The Jupiter Quartet, an ensemble of eloquent intensity, has matured into one of the mainstays of the American chamber music scene.”

Their chamber music honors and awards include the grand prizes in the Banff International String Quartet Competition and Fishoff National Chamber Music Competition. They have been artists-in-residence at the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and at the University of Illinois.
