Join us for an immersive musical experience in the Kemper Art Museum galleries with performances by Brooklyn-based ensemble Unheard-of, along with fellows from its Collaborative Composition Initiative (CCI). The group’s CCI program is hosted with Christopher Stark, associate professor of composition in the Department of Music in Arts & Sciences.  

The group will present two sets of musical miniatures paired with artworks throughout the Museum. The first performance will begin at 3 pm, and the second will begin at 4:15 pm. Free and open to the public.  

About Unheard-of 

Ford Fourqurean (clarinet), Matheus Souza (violin), Iva Casian-Lakoš (cello), and Daniel Anastasio (piano) are Unheard-of, a Brooklyn-based quartet redefining how new music connects with communities. Through adventurous programs blending technology, multimedia, and bold artistic voices, Unheard-of brings contemporary music to life across New York and the United States. 

Founded in 2014, the ensemble has grown into a national network of collaborators across artistic disciplines. With an open, inclusive approach, Unheard-of champions both emerging and established composers—bridging experimental and traditional styles and transforming concerts into immersive experiences. Its work extends beyond the stage through educational workshops, residencies, and a summer program for emerging composers, the Collaborative Composition Initiative (CCI).
