Dear Friends and Music Lovers,

Jupiters TENTH Season as a chamber music group promises to be a Splendid one. You read it correctly—it’s our TENTH!

When we started out, I had no idea what I was really getting myself into, but knew that the music making had to be very good. Together with my indispensable music advisor, Michael Volpert, we quickly got the hang of things, and today we believe that Jupiter offers among the best chamber music concerts in New York City. A nonpareil.

We deeply thank those of you who have stuck by us, some for all of the past nine seasons, some for all of the concerts every season. We are most grateful to you for your loyalty and for your financial support, without which there would be no Jupiter today.

Please help us sustain and grow this worthy endeavor by coming to our wonderful concerts as often as you can, and by giving what you are able to. All gifts are tax deductible. Your enthusiastic response to the challenging tasks of audience development and fundraising will be rewarded with precious gifts of beautiful music performed by extraordinary musicians.

Thank You.

The New York Sun Review
by Adam Baer
--The Jupiters Play On--

“Some great musicians get a statue when they pass away. Some get their name imprinted on the roof of a well-known concert hall. But the late conductor Jens Nygaard has a living tribute: an entire ensemble of musicians and a concert series to go along with it...

It is one of the city’s cultural jewels...

In the end, if Mr. Nygaard was known for anything, it was unmitigated verve. That’s what the audience regularly returned for, and that’s what they got Monday afternoon. To have a grassroots community of musicians continue to celebrate Mr. Nygaard with indomitable performances like these week after week, even without the power of world-famous guest soloists, is proper tribute. And with more large orchestras and ensembles needing more corporate sponsorship year after year, I, for one, hope the Jupiter’s individual subscriber-base remains strong.

New York’s musical life needs the spirit of Jens Nygaard, and Mei Ying should be proud she’s keeping it alive.”
