Q THE BAND

ION ZANCA

Principal and Founder of Q The Band, Dallas String Quartet

Ion Zanca is the principal and founder of Q The Band, as well as the beloved crossover ensemble Dallas String Quartet, which he created in 2007. Originally hailing from Romania, where he studied viola, Zanca combined his virtuostic talents for the violin with other classically-orientated string musicians after moving to the U.S.

DSQ has since grown into a national act that has had the pleasure of sharing packed arenas with famous artists like Chicago and Trans-Siberian Orchestra. They’ve released countless amazing covers spanning multiple decades and genre, including their 2022 album ROMANI: The Untold Story, which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Classical Album chart.

Ion Zanca created Q The Band with a collective of singers, dancers, and violinists, some of whom are full-time members of DSQ. Their clientele includes U.S. Presidents, celebrities, and Fortune 500 companies like Delta and LinkedIn.

  • Q The Band exceeded all expectations. First, the service was amazing - before the wedding day we had a meeting with Ion to go over songs and layout of everything and all I have to say is he knows what he is doing and is so kind and thoughtful! He pays attention to the small details and made sure to make my day so special! Second, they know how to throw a party! The dance floor was PACKED all night... no one wanted to leave! All our guests are still raving about how great the band was!

  • Q The Band was the most complimented element of our entire breathtaking wedding. They were encouraging to work with and the entire band learned to perform any song we requested ahead of time. I appreciate how fun our event was with them performing! I recommend them to anyone who wants a live band at an event and hope to work with them again in the future!

  • I have several musicians in my family... Including Gerald who has performed in LA at the Academy Awards. And they all raved about how on point the band was. Hitting every note and totally in sync. I would recommend you guys a thousand times over.
