Featuring violinists Moises Cunha and Elizabeth Almond Cunha, violist Catherine Matushek, and cellist Jake Fowler as the core ensemble, the Delachaise Ensemble is a chamber music collective of New Orleans-based musicians dedicated to presenting accessible and innovative programs to the local community. The Delachaise Ensemble is the Ensemble-in-Residence with the Northern Neck Chamberfest in Virginia, and has also performed with the Crescent City Chamber Music Festival in New Orleans.

Passionate about cross-discipline artistic collaboration, the Delachaise Ensemble regularly collaborates with dancers, visual artists, composers, musicians across genres, and other artists. Recent projects include collaborations with the Marigny Opera Ballet and Melange Dance Company. New music projects include performances by living composers and live performances of original music for silent films screenings.

Currently featured as the ensemble of the Fever Up Candlelight Concert Series in New Orleans, the Delachaise Ensemble has performed programs featuring iconic and beloved classical masterpieces of the chamber music literature to innovative renditions of popular music. Set in innovative and iconic venues around New Orleans, the Delachaise Ensemble redefines the classical music experience.
