Welcome to the fourth corner website! Feel free to look around, listen and learn about Baltimore's newest chamber group.
In 2007, three graduate students at the Peabody Institute decided to form a chamber group for school. Out of that group emerged a musical connection known today as fourth corner.
about our name
fourth corner symbolizes the place where our music lives. The three of us have spent so much time in practice rooms rehearsing that it became a part of us. The unoccupied corner of those practice rooms is where our music takes shape --- the fourth corner.
