Clinton, NY – Hamilton College Performing Arts continues the fall performing arts series with the Jupiter String Quartet on Friday, November 14 7:30 pm in Wellin Hall, Schambach Center. 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 Mélanie Clapiès and Meg Freivogel, violist Liz Freivogel (Meg’s older sister), and cellist Daniel McDonough (Meg’s husband, Liz’s brother-in-law). Founded in 2001, the ensemble is firmly established as an important voice in the world of chamber music, and exudes an energy that is at once friendly, knowledgeable, and adventurous.
The Jupiter Quartet brings its well-honed musical chemistry to three works shaped by bold
musicality and deeply meaningful thematic inspirations, written between the late 18th century and the present day, including String Quartet in C Major, Op. 33 No. 3 “The Bird” by Franz Joseph Haydn; Heal by Salina Fisher; Selections from Five Folksongs in Counterpoint by Florence Price; and Quartet in A minor, Op. 41 No. 1 by Robert Schumann.
Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for senior citizens and $5 for students. For more information, call the box office at (315) 859-4331 or visit http://www.hamilton.edu/performingarts. This performance is funded in part by the New York State Council on the Arts.
