“Keep an ear on the Jasper Quartet. Their programming savvy and keen adaptability to different musical styles made this concert a memorable experience for the near capacity crowd.”
- Daniel Hathaway, ClevelandClassical.com, February 2010
“[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.”
- Harriet Howard Heithaus, Naples News, December 2009
“The Jasper's ... match their sounds perfectly, as if each swelling chord were coming out of a single, impossibly well-tuned organ, instead of four distinct instruments.”
- Daniel Stephen Johnson, New Haven Advocate, October 2009
“The Jaspers played with sparkling vitality and great verve… They are polished, engaged, and in tune with one another. Their technical skills are of the highest caliber, and their musicality is without flaw. I look forward to hearing more from them.”
- W. Gerald Cochran, Classical Voice of North Carolina, October 2009
“Jasper [String Quartet] bathed Webern’s 1905 “Langsamer Satz” in a glowing, meticulously balanced sonority and found in the composer’s trademark repose a yearning intensity, which they projected with suave assurance… This is a quartet to watch.”
- Kenneth Herman, San Diego Union-Tribune, August 2009
“The highlight of [the Jasper Quartet's] programme was a meticulously detailed account of Ligeti’s Quartet No.1 ‘Metamorphoses Nocturnes’, in which the succession of moods and colours was both sonically delightful and expressively compelling.”
- Dennis Rooney, The Strad, February 2009
