Proxyma-B Quintet had its beginnings at the Lamont School of Music at the University of Denver by a stroke of luck; a randomly assigned chamber group sparked the passionate and dynamic ensemble we know today. Proxyma-B prides themselves on their sonic blend, cohesion, and teamwork, culminating in their signature interstellar sound.

Proxyma-B performs a wide range of genres from modern music to early Romantic. In their contemporary endeavors, they've collaborated with many current composers such as Remi Inari and Abdo Timejardine-Zomeño. In the 2024-25 concert season, Proxyma-B finished as runners-up in the 2025 Lamont Chamber Honors Competition and earned a fellowship for the 2025-26 concert season with the Compass REsonance Boulder.
