Ensemble Q is an Australian chamber music group (Q for Queensland) that was formed in 2017 by co-directors Paul Dean (clarinetist) and Trish Dean (cellist).[1] They are professionally associated with the Queensland Performing Arts Centre, Queensland Conservatorium, and Musica Viva. Ensemble Q performs contemporary and classical works, [2] but their deepest roots belong to 20th and 21st century music. [3]

Ensemble Q has been very favorably reviewed in Australia,[1] [2] and enjoys a strong international presence on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
