Breaking the Language Barrier: Norwegian & Danish Songs by Foreigners. The 19th season of the Mostly Nordic Chamber Music Series & Smörgåsbord takes a musical trip through the Nordic countries as you hear musicians who rarely perform in the United States. The concerts’ unique format begins with a 4:00 p.m. concert and is followed by a delicious dinner to match the country featured, along with a chance to mingle with the musicians and your fellow event-goers.
Soprano Laura Loge, specialist in Scandinavian Art Song graduate of Stavanger Conservatory, St. Olaf College, and New England Conservatory, is joined by Seattle Opera Chorus Master Beth Kirchhoff and Seattle Symphony and Seattle Chamber Players’ Laura DeLuca. The trio presents an in-depth, fascinating exploration of the vivid network of Grieg, Delius, and Schumann paired with the evocative and haunting work Natt Sanger of American composer Abbie Betinis.
Cost: Concert & Smörgåsbord: $47 for Members; $55 for non-Members. Concert Only: $22 for Members; $27 for non-Members. Full program and series information at www.nordicmuseum.org.
