Press
“The [Jasper String Quartet] displayed joie de vivre and athleticism - and perhaps most tellingly, grins all around.”
“The Jasper Quartet generates an electricity that seems to crackle through the crowd.”
“The music breathed and swelled in an expressive way without being over-calculated. Even the moments of silence vibrated with an energy.”
“sonically delightful and expressively compelling”
“The [Jaspers] have polished their art to near perfection.”
“Outstanding”
“The refinement, the beauty of tone — the rich, unified sonority — it reminded of eminences.”
“Precise and elegant, with power when needed; they bit into each phrase like biting into a crisp apple”
“The Jaspers… match their sounds perfectly, as if each swelling chord were coming out of a single, impossibly well-tuned organ, instead of four distinct instruments.”
“Exceptional”
“[The Jasper Quartet] plays with a confidence and comprehension way beyond their years. Every work they performed ... seemed to be their favorite and by the end of the evening they were audience favorites too.”
