One of Chicago's

distinctive ensembles.

~John von Rhein, 
Chicago Tribune

The Orion Ensemble is one of Chicago's most adventuresome and polished chamber groups.

~Wynne Delacoma,

Orion is ...what chamber music should be all about: Individual virtuosity melded into a group personality -- their performances are clean, vibrant, and committed.
