We love Patrick’s music and are very excited to record his second quartet ‘Libera Me’ next month on our new album of Jasper Quartet commissions!
Album announcement!!
To celebrate 10 years of our concert series and 20 years as a quartet, we’re closing out the season in a way that feels especially meaningful to us by recording a new album.
This project will feature incredible works written for this year’s series, along with some other amazing commissions from past seasons.
We can’t wait to share it with you all!
What a thrill it was to dive into the world of improvisation for our season finale, featuring Jessie Montgomery’s Break Away a couple of weeks ago.
We are so grateful to everyone who has supported us over the past ten years of Jasper Chamber Concerts.
Stay tuned for announcements about next season and exciting projects ahead!
Thank you to everyone who joined us online and in person last week for our closing concert of the season with Jasper Chamber Concerts!
This season, Jasper Chamber Concerts commissioned and premiered 4 new string quartets, presented 4 evening concerts and performed several concert-conversation programs in the Philadelphia School District and the Philadelphia Athenauem through its Community Connections program. Congratulations to our 3rd Annual Christine Kim Award Winner, Samuel Cao, in the second photo with the Jasper String Quartet!
Thanks to Chestnut Hill Friends Meeting, Allegro Music Consultants Bonnie Slobodien, the Arthur Judson Foundation, and all our supporters! Check our website for news about Season 11!
Our new album “Lamenting Earth” on @avierecordsuk is out now. In describing this album, Nick Phan says “Over the centuries, humankind’s relationship with nature has ping-ponged between two ideas: that we are a part of it, and that we are separate from it.” This tugs on what so many are experiencing in their relationship to the events surrounding us in the world today. The album highlights new works “Lamenting Earth” by Vivian Fung, and “Skyline Palimpsest” by Patrick Castillo, along with works by Vaughan Williams, Schubert, and Charles Ives. Streaming on all platforms now. 🎙️@grecchinois 🎹@myrahuang 🎻@jasperquartet 📝@waigwun@patric_astillo . Thank you for listening! #steinwayartist #recordingartist #newmusic #artsong

Listen now where ever you get your music 🎧
Lamenting Earth is out TODAY 🌿
This is "From Far, from Eve and Morning" from On Wenlock Edge — Vaughan Williams at his most quietly devastating. A.E. Housman's words ask where we come from, where we go — and nature simply endures, indifferent to the answer.
That sense of permanence feels different in 2026.
