⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"An astonishing evening of chamber music. This was the sort of performance that I haven’t seen in a while, where I was reminded of the sort of heights that chamber music can reach. Not once did I hear a note without a rock-solid sense of direction and confidence behind it. Quite possibly the best performance I’ve seen all year, and an astonishing feat of music-making..... frankly, this was a jaw-dropping performance." Limelight, October 2021

With a core artist list of some of the finest musicians in Australia, Ensemble Q is directed by Co-Artistic Directors cellist Trish Dean and clarinetist Paul Dean. Born in 2017 out of a desire to create an ensemble with the finesse of the greatest ensembles in the world and the excitement of a festival collaboration, Ensemble Q has earned an enviable reputation for brilliant programming and the highest performance standard. This group of now proudly Brisbane based friends hail from Concertmaster and Principal seats in the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, soloists and chamber musicians on the national touring network, and leading faculty at Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University.
Ensemble Q is an Ensemble in Residence at both the Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC)
and the Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University.
Ensemble Q have been selected as national touring artists for Musica Viva, and appear at festivals including the Australian Festival of Chamber Music and the Queensland Music Festival. They are regular artists for ABC Classic and 4MBS Classic FM. Comprising string quintet, wind quintet, piano and percussion, Ensemble Q's repertoire possibilities are endless and range from the most exquisite solos right through to full chamber symphonies.
Ensemble Q's dedication to future generations is brought to the fore through the ground breaking Ensemble Q mentorship program, which has seen many talented young musicians placed in side by side performances with some of the best national and international artists.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"An intimate and incomparable evening of chamber music from Ensemble Q with Eva Kong. Ensemble Q returned with an unparalleled “intimate evening of musical decadence”. The group was formed in 2017 by Trish and Paul Dean and is one of the most vibrant and innovative chamber ensembles in Australia. Their willingness to revamp the general opinions of stuffy chamber music has attracted many eminent national and international guest artists to perform with them." Limelight, October 29 2021
"In an uplifting and joyous final concert, Ensemble Q soared to new heights with their sublime renditions and humorous execution of music composed in times of adversity. " Limelight, September 2021
