It's Out of This World: Dedicated to acknowledge and perpetuate the legacy of the late Jens Nygaard—founder of the Jupiter Symphony—the chamber music series celebrates a legacy that denotes musical excellence, gives performance opportunities to outstanding musicians, and imparts a love of and enthusiasm for music through interesting and unusual programs of works in the standard repertoire, as well as pieces by lesser known composers that deserve to be heard.
