Regional Spotlight: Jupiter String Quartet and clarinetist Jose Franch-Ballester
by Steve Staruch, Minnesota Public Radio
March 10, 2011
St. Paul, Minn. — "I want to go where everybody knows my name..."
The TV show CHEERS - unfussy, filled with friendly if quirky characters and a joy to watch - was very much like the Mozart Clarinet Quintet.

Their performance is in this week's Regional Spotlight.
