We are Mina Kim and Sam Kelder, full-time musicians in the Boston area and the founders of Queer Ensemble Project (QEP).

QEP is a chamber music concert series showcasing exceptional queer musicians and composers across the New England area through financially accessible concerts, with a special focus on serving audiences of LGBTQ+ elders and youth. QEP is our way of paying it forward to the LGBTQ+ community, creating a safe space to celebrate queer artistry and foster connection between artist and audience alike – an experience that would have been invaluable to our younger selves. Our hope is to cultivate not only a recurring concert experience, but a growing audience transformed by the meaningful connections made with each other and the artists on stage.
