mission
Formed in 2005, “nief-norf” was born from the spirited vision of Artistic Director/percussionist Andrew M. Bliss, who envisioned a collective of musicians, tirelessly committed to exploring, commissioning, and presenting all dimensions of contemporary music.
The nief-norf Project champions both celebrated and unknown repertoire from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and presents concerts in a variety of formats in an effort to reach the widest audiences possible.
Understanding that young composers and performers are the future of our art-forms, nief-norf also strives to create opportunities for collaboration and communication through nief-norf TV.
“...your chosen emphasis on contemporary works allows for an exceptional lot of imaginative expressions.”
