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. Following a pause during the pandemic, Ensemble Urbain came back reimagined, integrating string orchestra concerts with innovative curated chamber music concerts.
