The size of the ensemble varies depending upon the repertoire being performed.

The ensemble made its debut on January 2009 at Peter J Sharp Theater at The Juilliard School's Chamber Music Fest in a performance of C.P.E. Bach's Concerto, Wq.166 in an arrangement transcribed by Mr. Ozdemir. The 2009 - 10 concert season also included performances at Alice Tully Hall, Peter J Sharp Theater, American Irish Society, The New York Society for Ethical Culture, a masterclass performance featuring gamba virtuose Jordi Savall at Juilliard's Paul Hall, Maiden Lane and The Mallet.
