Jupiter String Quartet

Updated March 18th, 2026

The Jupiter String Quartet brings over 20 years of intimate collaboration to the stage. Known for their warmth, insight, and adventurous spirit, they bridge classical and contemporary works with clarity and heart, illuminating connections between pieces with each thoughtfully crafted program.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the pianist Bernadette Harvey will not be able to perform with the Jupiter String Quartet this spring. We look forward to finding a future time to welcome her to Krannert Center.

The Jupiter String Quartet will instead present an opportunity to experience the quartet's trademark warmth, insight, and adventurous spirit in a revised program that illuminates connections across musical eras and styles.
