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).
