nief-norf Project
"Six Marimbas"
Focus Day Performance
Thursday, 5:00 p.m.

The nief-norf project (nnPR) is a chamber percussion collective, active in the performance, study, and promotion of contemporary music. nnPR has recently performed at PASIC and the 2010 Intermedia Festival at IUPUI, presenting music by composers such as Christopher Adler, David Lang, and Mark Applebaum. The group's name (nief-norf) was born from a warning: "you don't want to play nief-norf, do you? That music is weird; it sounds like nief-norf." This neologism built from onomatopoeia came to stand for any new music that was strange or unfamiliar. Rather than heeding such warnings, the nnPR has found a home championing and exploring "norf." The members of nnPR have a unique blend of knowledge and enthusiasm for this music, stemming from their backgrounds in performance, scholarship, and technology. In essence, through active performance, they aim to celebrate and share their love for nief-norf.
