The McIntire Department of Music is pleased to present The Fourth Wall in residency at the University of Virginia on April 5 and 6, 2013. The group, which explores a new hybrid of the performing arts in which musicians are also dancers and actors, will provide a series of recitals and masterclasses throughout the weekend.

The residency begins with a chamber music masterclass on Friday, April 5 from 1:00-3:00 pm in Old Cabell Hall room 107, and continues that evening with an exciting and innovative recital at 8:00 pm in the Old Cabell Hall auditorium. The group will finish their residency with an interactive hybrid arts workshop from 3:00 to 5:00 pm in Old Cabell Hall room 107. All events are free and open to the public.

Stretching the boundaries of instrumental performance, The Fourth Wall commissions new interdisciplinary works and reinterprets es tablished repertoire to make music that leaps off the stage. The ensemble is comprised of flutist and dancer, Hilary Abigana; bass trombonist and choreographer, C. Neil Parsons; and percussionist and narrator, Greg Jukes. Founded in 2010, The Fourth Wall has been inspiring and delighting audiences all over the country with their hybrid arts performances that combine music, theater and dance.

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 and Rice University's Shepherd School of Music.

The Fourth Wall Residency is supported by the Eleanor Shea Music Trust and all events are free and open to the public. For more information, call 434.924.3052.
