  Crossings Concert: Musical Migrations with Laura Loge and Steve Luksan

  Thursday, September 11 8:30 pm-9:30 pm

  • a. Join Vesterheim for a FREE online livestreamed concert, “Crossings Concert: Musical Migrations with Laura Loge and Steven Luksan”.

  • b. Register online on vesterheim.org/folk-art-school/. Click on “Free events”. Please, also, register on the ScandiClub website so that we know who is from the Club (or is related to the Club).

  • c. This experience is sponsored by the Vesterheim Norwegian-American Museum and Folk Art School, which is a partner with Crossings 200, celebrating 2025- the 200th anniversary of Norwegians emigrating to the US.

  Join Vesterheim and Luther College for an evening of song commemorating the 200th anniversary of organized Norwegian migration to North America! Soprano Laura Loge and pianist Steven Luksan will share a recital blending classical music, historically popular music (some very silly), and nostalgic chestnuts their grandparents used to sing. With repertoire ranging from the well-known to nearly-forgotten gems researched by the performers, this event is certain to delight music lovers and Norwegian history aficionados alike!
