Concert: NOMON

NOMON is an electro-percussion duo of sisters Shayna and Nava Dunkelman, united by a shared vision to expand how percussion can speak, move, and connect. They are driven by curiosity, exploring rhythm not only as sound, but as energy, gesture, and emotion. They believe percussion can embody both structure and freedom, precision and vulnerability.

The concert opens with Mikel Patrick Avery, a percussionist, composer/improvisor, filmmaker, photographer, and designer of electronic instruments. His music practice and experimentation span jazz, experimental, and electronic music. With his deep understanding of the historical and contemporary significance of various genres, he explores the uses of improvisation to navigate uncertainty, imagine alternative futures, and inspire social cohesion.

This concert is co-presented by Otherly Love Records and Asian Arts Initiative. Support for artist and booking coordination by Yuri Seung.
