MoseleyNext: The Fourth Wall

The Fourth Wall inspires and delights audiences all over the country with their hybrid arts performances in venues ranging from elementary school cafe-gymnatoriums to performing arts centers to (Le) Poisson Rouge in New York. A favorite at Fringe theatre festivals, the trio has sold out shows in Indianapolis, Minneapolis, and Orlando where they received Patrons’ Pick and Critics’ Choice awards for their vaudeville-inspired show, “Fruit Flies Like a Banana.” The Fourth Wall won the 2014 Savvy Musician in Action chamber music competition and was presented at the innovative music entrepreneurship retreat as performers and workshop leaders.

Collaboration has been a key element of The Fourth Wall’s work from the very beginning. The Boston Composers’ Coalition chose the ensemble for their inaugural concert in 2010, bringing together six composers plus a student composer to create new works for the unconventional trio. Since then, The Fourth Wall has reached out to composers from around the world for new music; developed new choreography as members of Windfall Dancers in Bloomington, IN; and created a body of winter holiday repertoire working with the Phoenix Theatre of Indianapolis. In January 2016, The Fourth Wall was invited to participate in the second New Music Gathering, earning a picture in the Wall Street Journal and credit for their “deft choreography.”

Members of The Fourth Wall have attended The Eastman School of Music, Oberlin Conservatory of Music, the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University, Ohio University, Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music, and the Boston Conservatory.

Our new MoseleyNext micro-series welcomes audience members looking to kick off the weekend with shorter, happy hour-style concerts on Friday evenings. Just like our traditional Moseley series, these new events will feature top-notch performances by world-class artists including Irish duo Rakish and innovative hybrid arts ensemble The Fourth Wall. Featuring a casual setting and earlier start time, this appealing combo of artistry and convenience is sure to make MoseleyNext a new favorite of young professionals, families, and connoisseurs alike!
