Delirium Musicum


Founded in 2018 by violin virtuoso Etienne Gara, Delirium Musicum harnesses the artistic
excellence, energy, and leadership of a generation of young musicians in Los Angeles who
are forging a rich musical identity nourished by the city’s bustling artistic mosaic and
boundary-bending vibe. Their diverse backgrounds (nine countries from four continents
represented), their commitment to spontaneity, and the juxtaposition of music from all time
periods allows the musicians to engage intimately with the audience to create profound
human experiences.
Called “ferocious and rhythmically mesmerizing” by the San Francisco Classical Voice, the
musicians of Delirium Musicum are known for their out-of-the-box approach to programming
and scintillating live performances. “This exciting young ensemble is a step ahead, ready for
anything – virtuosic and versatile.” (Mark Swed, Los Angeles Times).
The orchestra’s wide-ranging mix of concert performances, tours, and creative musical
projects reaches out to audiences of broad tastes and traditions.
“Seasons,” the ensemble’s debut album with Warner Classics, was released in April, 2023,
and received international accolades:
“They have mastered what musicians world-wide only dream of: connecting deeply with
listeners.” Gramofon (Hungary)
“Utterly convincing . . . an urgency never before heard.” Luister Magazine (The Netherlands)
“The twenty or so young, globetrotting musicians of Delirium Musicum, full of energy . . .
bring the necessary tension to these tempestuous “Seasons.” Diapason (France)
They recently released "Cabinet of Curiosities", their 2nd album for Warner Classics.
Delirium Musicum has won this year's San Francisco Classical Voice Audience Choice
Awards in all 5 categories it was nominated in.
