The JUPITER STRING QUARTET formed in 2001 and consists 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).

The quartet spent many of their formative years under the instruction of the eminent Cleveland Quartet and Takacs Quartet, and continue to adhere to many of their central principles today. While enjoying the opportunity to work with living composers, they still feel a strong and fundamental connection to the core string quartet literature, particularly Beethoven and Bartok.

The Jupiters have receive several recent chamber music honors, including first prize in the Banff International String Quartet Competition, grand prize in the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competion, membership in Lincoln Center’s Chamber Music Society Two, and Chamber Music America’s Cleveland Quartet Award. The quartet also won the 2005 Young Concert Artists International auditions and now holds YCA’s Helen F. Whitaker Chamber Music Chair. Most recently, they were honored to receive an Avery Fisher Career Grant.

The quartet performs across the United States, Canada, Europe, Mexico, and South America. They have also been enthusiastically received at several major music festivals and have been the quartet-in-residence at the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center since 2008.
