"Jaspers have been hailed as 'sonically delightful and expressively compelling.'"
-The Strad

Equally at home on the world's great stages as in educational residencies, Philadelphia's Jasper String Quartet is at the forefront of a golden age in American chamber music. Awarded the prestigious Cleveland Quartet Award in 2012, the Jaspers have been hailed as "sonically delightful and expressively compelling" (The Strad) and "powerful" (New York Times). "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." (New Haven Advocate)

The Jasper String Quartet is the Professional Quartet-in-Residence at Temple University's Center for Gifted Young Musicians. They record exclusively for Sono Luminus and have released three highly acclaimed albums - Beethoven Op. 131, The Kernis Project: Schubert, and The Kernis Project: Beethoven.

"This young quartet is among the most impressive I have heard in modern sound."
Stereophile (reviewing "Beethoven: The String Quartets")
