The Fourth Wall Ensemble
Founded in 2010, The Fourth Wall Ensemble brings contemporary chamber music to new audiences around the country. The Ensemble consists of a flutist, a trombonist and a percussionist, and together they bring a unique theatricality to their performances. Their name is derived from the theoretical "fourth wall" that separates audiences from the action on stage. "We like to break the fourth wall, which means that we go out into the audience, talk directly to them. Sometimes bring the stage action out there, sometimes bring the audience on stage with us, and try to be as interactive as possible," says flutist Hilary Abigana. With a combination of commissioned works and well-known classics, The Fourth Wall Ensemble makes music that literally leaps off the stage.
