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.
