About The Gentlemen of NUCO:

Formed in 2005 when the only male members of the Northwestern University Chamber Orchestra declared, “Ladies, leave the rock ‘n’ roll to us,” The Gentlemen of NUCO have forged a unique hybrid style: an uncanny mélange of classical training, rebellious spirit and stunning good looks. The ensemble has matured through collaborations with members of the Chicago and Milwaukee symphony orchestras, and composers Jason Seed and Andrew Jamieson. The Gentlemen are Charles Asch, Josh Fink, Yoshihiko Nakano, Hugh Palmer, Henry Wang, Corey Bertelsen and Patrick Slevin.
