Jennifer Torrence

Born in 1986 in Georgia, USA. Jennifer Torrence is a percussionist, performer and artistic researcher based in Oslo, Norway. She has performed and taught in a variety of contexts across the entire globe. Much of her work is built upon deep collaborative processes with composers/musicians and artists from diverse art forms, resulting in a large body of work that positions itself in an “expanded field” of music. In addition to solo and collaborative projects, she is a member of the Norwegian ensemble, Pinquins, which has recently been presented at festivals such as Donaueschingen, ultima and MINU Festival, among others. Jennifer is associate professor II of percussion at the Norwegian Academy of Music where she also performs artistic and pedagogical research.

In 2025, Jennifer Torrence will be a tutor at the Darmstadt Summer Course for the second time.
