Challenging cultural difference through music, The Four Corners String Quartet celebrate their own identities whilst exploring each others musical influences. Originating from Jordan, USA, England and Palestine, they converse in middle-eastern, jazz, classical and folk styles. Their signature work Maracaibo composed by the notable cellist and Berklee Professor Eugene Friesen, uses complex rhythms native to traditional Venezuelan music, which acts as the backdrop to virtuoso improvisations and exciting extended techniques.
Formed in 2013 at Berklee College of Music, Layth Al-Rubaye, Ellen Melissa Story, Alliz Nicholas, and Naseem Alatrash represent a new generation of young artists who enrich listeners with unique interpretations and shatter the traditional impression of the string quartet. Based in Boston, USA, the quartet enjoy performing at The Museum of Fine Arts, The Massachusetts State House, Berklee College of Music and for Layth's cat Gordita.
This March The Four Corners will perform Nando Michelin's work "Juana de America" alongside Argentinian singer Katie Viqueira and a jazz trio. "Juana de America": A suite of poems by Juana de Ibarbourou, set to voice and music composed by Nando Michelin.
