The Jupiter String Quartet Family Matinee Concert will offer a behind-the-scenes look at how the group interacts, communicates, and expresses a range of emotions when playing together. Performing music by Beethoven, Haydn and other composers, the four musicians will demonstrate different types of musical conversations, from “passing” the melody from instrument to instrument to performing a fugue “like a game of musical hot potato.” Purchase Tickets.
