Gravity
GRAVITY is an immersive performance for string quartet and live electronics, unfolding without interruption.
Five friends who kept ending up
Different projects, different gigs, different cities. One evening, they decided to stop putting other people’s ideas into practice and instead bring their own to life.
In space travel, delta-v measures a spacecraft’s capacity to change course. To manoeuvre. To go somewhere new.
Delta V Ensemble is a string quartet with a composer at its core, not just an addition to the group, but a founding member. That's what sets it apart from a traditional quartet.
The goal is straightforward: to translate classical music into a language with which the audience is already familiar. The aim is not to explain or make it more accessible, but to close the distance between the music and the person listening.
Five paths. One shared gravity.
Jiro Yoshioka
Jiro is the composer, arranger, and electronic artist of the ensemble. With a background as a cellist, his work explores the intersection of classical writing and electro-acoustic sound, combining tradition with a contemporary approach.
He reimagines existing repertoire and composes original works specifically for the ensemble, transforming familiar material while preserving its essence.
Philip Heide
Philip, the cellist of the Delta V Ensemble, brings a diverse musical background that spans classical training as well as experience as a guitarist, bassist and producer in rock music.
Delta V is his vision of shaping a string ensemble like a band: dynamic, immersive, and multisensory.
Alvar Ceamanos
Alvar has been playing in string quartets from an early age. He sees ensemble playing as an honest form of communication, where sounds are built together and ideas become alive.
Delta V reflects that belief: a collaborative space without hierarchy, where individuality and shared exploration coexist.
Vinícius Gomez
Vinícius is a Brazilian musician performing across Europe and Brazil, with experience as concertmaster, orchestral musician, and soloist.
For him, Delta V is a space to experiment, collaborate, and rethink how audiences experience classical music.
Alona Khlevna
Alona started Delta V Ensemble because she wanted to bring classical music closer to people who think it is not for them.
She believes classical music has more urgency, more groove, and more rawness than concert halls usually allow.
