About
The nief-norf Summer Festival (nnSF) is an interdisciplinary summer music festival, bringing together dozens of performers, composers, and scholars to collaborate on the performance, creation, and discussion of contemporary solo and chamber music. The nnSF offers a think-tank environment on the beautiful campus of Furman University and presents inspiring and devoted performances of modern music, aiming to encourage both appreciation and support for live music and contemporary art.
The festival is delighted to have a full-time performance and composition faculty on hand throughout the duration of the festival, who each host separate workshops that artists may apply for. In addition, each year the nnSF hosts two international searches for contemporary thought: the first, a weekend-long research summit consisting of scholarly presentations from a nationwide Call for Papers, and the second, an international Call for Scores competition which brings some of our generation's brightest and most promising composers to the festival for interaction with the fellows, the faculty, and the community.
The 2012 nief-norf Summer Festival will take place at Furman University from May 29 - June 9, 2012.
