Two Track: Nebulous Quartet Featuring Kely Pinheiro (Virtual Concert)

Two Track is a music video series designed for Berklee’s YouTube and social media channels that features artists in an intimate setting with only one microphone and continuous camera takes. Each recording session will revolve around a single theme (i.e., connection, love, dreams) that can be expressed by the artist either through their track selection or through a short storytelling segment that will be recorded as part of the performance. The videos in this series will premiere at specific dates and times, but if you miss the premiere, each video will be public on the channel in continuity. 

This week features Nebulous Quartet, led by Kely Pinheiro, performing an original titled "Sozinho" by Pinheiro and "My Funny Valentine" by Richard Rodgers. The Nebulous Quartet is violinists Claudius Agrippa and Fabienne Jean, violist Noah Leong, and cellist/vocalist Pinheiro.

About the Artist

Kely Pinheiro is a Brazilian multi-instrumentalist and arranger based in Boston. She moved to the U.S. after receiving a full-tuition scholarship from Berklee College of Music. She is a classically trained cellist but grew up in a music-loving family that encouraged her to explore a variety of musical styles. 
She has performed in concerts since she was 12 years old, participating in projects and festivals in Brazil and abroad. Her first professional tour was in 2017, playing Brazilian music throughout Germany with Rio's popular string orchestra Camerata Laranjeiras. Her most recent tour was in the Fall of 2018, backing up Norwegian singer Astrid S, which led Pinheiro to be noticed by Norway's largest newspaper, Aftenposten. 

Pinheiro majors in performance and contemporary writing and production at Berklee, collaborating with multiple artists and working on a solo show featuring her cello and voice.

Nebulous is a traditional string ensemble in its instrumentation but has established a sound far from the norm. Being comprised of musicians with diverse cultural backgrounds, each member of Nebulous brings their own distinct musical identity. Furthermore, Nebulous brings a creative approach to string playing by performing without sheet music and creating original arrangements through group rehearsal. Nebulous find themselves enthusiastic about the musical ideas they create and love to share that joy and spontaneity with their audience.
