The Nief-Norf Summer Festival for 2018 is now in the finale stage following two weeks of contemporary music exploration for its fellows and audiences. The anticipated and highly recommended Marathon finale concert is on Sunday from 3 PM till 10 PM — a concert that will feature a broad range of music from over a dozen composers, some of them Nief-Norf faculty and guests, with the Faculty and Fellows as performers. All performances this year have been in the Sandra G. Powell Recital Hall of the Natalie L. Haslam Music Center on the UT Campus. Student Marathon Tickets are $20; General Marathon Tickets are $35.
