More about Kinetic Ensemble:

Dubbed “Houston’s Indie, Conductorless Orchestra” (Houston Public Media) and “Best Chamber Orchestra of 2023” (Houston Press), the artist-led, artist-curated Kinetic Ensemble has gained increasing recognition as an innovative and dynamic force in Houston’s music scene, and an important advocate for the diversification of classical music repertoire. Formed in 2015, the 16-member conductorless string ensemble has been hailed for its “remarkably varied and rich strata of string colour” (Choir & Organ), its “visually arresting…brilliantly executed” performances, and its “thoughtful, incisive programming” (Arts+Culture Texas).
