ear that listens to and feeds the individual voices which
create their distinctive, organic conversation, their music. The
four members of Quantum met in 1998 at North Carolina School of
the Arts (NCSA) discovering a common passion for exploring music.
Quantum is continually exploring all kinds of music.
from jazz and classical to hip-hop and electronic to African and
Indian music, creating an always-evolving group sound and aspiring
to reach as many audiences as possible. Currently residing in New
York City, Quantum performs there and tours on the east coast.
