About Delirium Musicum
Delirium Musicum is an emerging conductorless chamber ensemble that brings together some of the most creative and refined musicians in Los Angeles. Led by violinist Etienne Gara, Delirium Musicum defines itself artistically by taking a new stand on the daring and varied repertoire it tackles. Created with a distinctive voice, the ensemble of fifteen musicians showcases its signature style, creativity, and the gift the musicians have for communing deeply with the audience.
