Nordic song specialist, soprano Laura Loge (“Whether she was singing about dew, butterflies, or life Loge’s characterful and versatile voice easily adapted to each song’s style.” – The Gathering Note) and brilliant pianist Angela Draghicescu (“amazing at the piano, her playing was playful and characterized by beautiful melody” – Frettabladid – Iceland) will perform songs from their newest collaboration – an album of previously-unrecorded songs by Norwegian women entitled A Bird Cried Out (Der skreg en fugl). The duo will introduce you to this treasure trove of songs by Agathe Backer-Grøndahl, Anne Marie Ørbeck, Mon Schjelderup, Pauline Hall, Theodora Cormontan, Anna Lindeman, Hanna Marie Hansen, and many more, leaving you curious and inspired by the mere existence of this beautiful music.
Come for the music, stay for the Norwegian treats generously provided by the Leif Erikson Lodge Sons of Norway.
