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 creative force. Their diverse backgrounds (over 10 countries from four continents represented), their commitment to spontaneity, and the juxtaposition of music spanning from the Baroque era to music of tomorrow allows the musicians to engage intimately audiences everywhere to create profound human experiences. Delirium Musicum strives to redefine “Classical” music as the new red-hot concert experience.
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
Its closing burst forth with fiery energy and boldly contrasting dynamics, bringing the audience to its feet.
– The Boston Musical Intelligencer
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). The ensemble recently released “Cabinet of Curiosities”, their 2nd album for Warner Classics.
Delirium Musicum has won the 2025 San Francisco Classical Voice Audience Choice Awards in all 5 categories it was nominated in, and was cited in Amazon Music’s “Best 25 of 2025” list for classical music.
