What is Q?
Orchestra Q is a bold new chamber orchestra redefining what it means to experience classical music. Based in Queens, NYC, we unite some of the city’s most extraordinary young musicians to create immersive, genre-bending performances. Without a conductor, we collaborate as equals - breathing new life into timeless works while championing the voices of living composers. More than just a performing ensemble, we are an artistic movement, breaking boundaries between tradition and innovation, musician and audience.
The Music of Q
Spotlight Q – Every concert begins with a chamber performance featuring individual members or their outside ensembles.
Symphony Q – Each program culminates in an electrifying orchestral work, blending classical tradition with fresh innovation.
Immersive & Interdisciplinary – We collaborate with dancers, actors, and visual artists to craft performances that engage all the senses.
Faces of Q
Orchestra Q is powered by a collective of fearless, visionary artists - each a virtuoso in their own right. Our musicians aren’t just interpreters of music; they are creative collaborators, composers, and storytellers, shaping the ensemble’s unique voice. From international soloists to boundary-pushing chamber musicians, each performer brings a distinct energy and perspective to the orchestra.
