Canceled: Jupiter String Quartet with Tyler Duncan, baritone

In accordance with these guidelines, all public performances at Krannert Center the remainder of the Spring 2020 semester are canceled as of Monday, March 16, 2020. If any performances become available by way of streaming or other technology, we will share that information as soon as possible. While this action is necessary and wise, we are of course deeply saddened not to be able to help create experiences of joy and community in person at this time.

The Jupiter String Quartet, an “ensemble of eloquent intensity,” performs to acclaim across the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, and South America in the world’s finest halls—including Krannert Center’s Foellinger Great Hall, at the University of Illinois where the Jupiter is quartet-in-residence (New Yorker). Joining the quartet for this concert is emerging Canadian baritone Tyler Duncan, who brings consummate musicianship, vocal beauty, and interpretive insight to recital, concert, and operatic literature. “Possessed of a refined, burnished voice with flexibility and ample strength in reserve,” Duncan holds significant international performance and competition experience and a “glittering career ahead” (Chicago Classical Review, Opera Canada). In addition to works for string quartet and voice, Franz Schubert’s driving, dramatic “Death and the Maiden” quartet will be featured.
Barber: “Dover Beach”
Respighi: “Il Tramonto” (The Sunset)
Schubert: Songs
Schubert: String Quartet No. 14 in D Minor, “Death and the Maiden”
