INSECTS & MACHINES: Quartets of Vivian Fung
Having performed and worked closely with Vivian Fung on her Quartets, the Quartet’s recent release, INSECTS & MACHINES on Sono Luminus, has garnered tremendous acclaim.
“…a rewarding new album covering [Vivian Fung’s] four string quartets, played with a beautiful sense of color and SUBSTANCE by the Jasper String Quartet.”
-Classical Modern Music Review
Latest Album, Lamenting Earth, available now!

“A compelling program … Jasper plays it [Patrick Castillo’s ‘Skyline Palimpsest’] sublimely… Fung’s ‘Lamenting Earth’ … is mesmerizing.”
-Craig Byrd, Cultural Attaché

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.”
