Soundmark Project is a percussion quartet whose focus is on contemporary music, championing preexisting works and commissioning new repertoire from both established and emerging artists. Having first met and collaborated last summer at the nief-norf Summer Festival, all four percussionists hail from across the United States. Their program originates from their respective artistic relationships and combines them into musical experience that embodies the ensemble’s history and vision. The program features a stylistically diverse range of percussion literature scored for small instruments and everyday objects designed to minimize the boundaries between performer and audience.
