Our magazine name came from Mozart’s “Jupiter” Symphony. Just as his musical work is distinctive and excellent, we strive to share the same fullness and intensity good music has to offer. The word "index" refers to taking the pulse of something important. We at Jupiter Index love music and strive to convey this love though the magazine.
Just recently, in the last few years, we, have began to share more by reaching out into the community where Jupiter Index is based to talk about writing with young people and the different ways one can write about music while building on one’s writing skills. Our main goal was and is for people to improve their writing. Over time these writers helped move the magazine forward by covering diverse concerts, CDs, and music Websites, and working to interview musicians such as Koko Talyor, Eric Johnson, Sara Hickman, Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, blues legend Pinetop Perkins, and classical violist Hilary Hahn.
Each edition of Jupiter Index has provided people of diverse backgrounds an opportunity to interview new and established artists. And I have enjoyed seeing the writers share their thoughtful writing with our readers. It has also been special to have readers from New York to Australia reading this publication. We are grateful for your past support – thank you. And we ask for your continued support and hope to hear from you, our readers, as we look ahead to new journeys and new stories about the changing face of music.
