CHEHO| Artistic Director
Forbes Under 30 entrepreneur, producer and violinist from Hong Kong, CheHo was selected to perform at the Presidential Inaugural Luncheon at the Capitol in Washington, D.C. for President Barack Obama as First Violinist of the Eastman String Quartet. He has appeared at Carnegie Hall, the United Nations, concert halls and classrooms across the globe.
TONY ZITO | Honorary Founder
Since his retirement from the medical profession due to illness, Dr. Tony Zito (1941-2016) had been of service in various cultural endeavors, including being the Executive Producer of the documentary Seymour: an introduction, before founding The Q with CheHo.

“My Covid induced absence from live music was ushered back not to a packed concert hall, but to a homey and intimate salon concert hosted by Cheho. I appreciated the sharings from the host, both during the performances, but also afterwards chatting over a drink.
Maybe these musicians have found how music should be presented - exchanging sounds, words and feelings”
ARTISTIC EXPERIENCES REDEFINED
The Q brings in top tier musicians, artists and creative talents from film, literature, multimedia, food industries, to magician and perfumer to curate programs with enticing themes to each concert event.
You don't need a backstage pass to get to know the artists.
From tales of playing at local dive bars, pre-concert wardrobe malfunciton at Radio City Music Hall, to getting locked out of a Carnegie Hall dressing room, or what it is like to perform and travel with a million dollar Stradivarius made in the 17th century, hear all kinds of stories they are more than excited to share with you over a drink.
HOW IT ALL STARTED
After the release of the documentary Seymour: an introduction, Executive Producer Dr. Tony Zito invited violinist CheHo to give a house concert, followed by a screening of the film. The two then began hosting soirées out of Tony's apartment (fittingly numbered Q), the very place where the film's director Ethan Hawke met Seymour Bernstein, subject of the film.
The Q has since been invited by hosts, brands, film festivals, and The United Nations for performances and events taking place across New York and Hong Kong.
