Plymouth Downtown Advisory Council (PDAC)
UPDATE
PDAC has a high degree of energy, and the presence of the design team from Andrews University has added to it.

We have divided the committee into sub-committees to address the various segments of the “Action Plan” as described in the “Master Plan” created by the consultants, Business Districts, Inc (BDI) and Lehman & Lehman. These committees are busy short-term events and plans for the downtown as well as long-term comprehensive solutions to vacant buildings, streetscapes, zoning recommendations, affordable housing and other identifiable opportunities in Plymouth’s downtown TIF district.

Open meetings are held on alternate Thursdays
at 4:00 PM in the Laramore B room
at the Plymouth Public Library.

Watch for the Halloween parade and a fantastic Christmas “Tree Lighting” coming up!
Jerry Nikitas
PDAC Chair 

Watch for periodic update on the downtown study on the front page of the Chamber’s website.

Jupiter Quartet: Nelson Lee, violin; Meg Freivogel, violin; Liz Freivogel, viola; Daniel McDonough, cello
Formed in Cleveland in 2001, the Boston-based Jupiter Quartet has performed across the United States and abroad. Their interpretations have received warm reviews at a number of respected chamber music series, including the Tri-County Emerging Artists Concerts, Honest Brook Music Festival, Caramoor Festival and the Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival. They have played on some of the world's most spectacular chamber music halls, such as London's Wigmore Hall and Boston's Jordan hall. The Jupiter Quartet just made their New York debut in Weill Hall and received a glowing review from the New York Sun.

In 2004, the Jupiter Quartet won grand prize at the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition. This award includes Concert tours of the U.S., and engagements in Italy for 2005. In 2003, the quartet also won second prize at the Young Concert Artists International Auditions. Next year, they will enter the New England Conservatory as the school's fellowship quartet working primarily with Paul and Martha Katz. The Jupiter Quartet has had the good fortune to work closely with some of the most inspiring minds of the chamber music world. In particular, their work with Henry Meyer, former violinist of the renowned LaSalle Quartet, led to an invitation to perform on a series of concerts in Frankfurt, Weikersheim, and Aub, Germany.

The Jupiter Quartet has strong commitment to community outreach and the development of future classical music audiences. They have performed in children't concerts throughout the Boston area and in Vermont. The quartet's members hold degrees from the Cleveland Institute of Music, The Juilliard School, Oberlin Conservatiory, Yale University and the New England Conservatory.
