Over late night coffee in their apartment on Ave Saint Urbain in Montreal, roommates Josh and Emmy with friends and fellow McGill students Russell and Will dreamed of a what it might look to have an all string chamber orchestra - with no conductor.

Late night conversations and daydreams turned into brainstorming and then planning for the first conductorless string orchestra concert in November of 2019.
