ENTERTAINMENT AND FEATURED GUESTS
Entertainment at the 2011 Luncheon by Honorary Marshal Laura Loge
Soprano Laura Loge’s expertise in Norwegian music comes from a long path of study of Scandinavian languages, cultures and music. With ancestry from the south-western coastal area of Norway, she pursued her interest by first attending Skogfjorden, Concordia Language Villages’ Norwegian village, and returning later as a counselor. She earned her Bachelor’s degree from St. Olaf College where she studied Norwegian and vocal performance. Her studies culminated in a year of studying Scandinavian Art Song and chamber music at the University of Stavanger Conservatory of Music where she lived with her Norwegian relatives and absorbed the local cultures and dialects. While there she also sewed and embroidered her own bunad, which, in honor of her ancestery, is of Rogaland style and Bjerkreim inspired embroidery. http://www.lauraloge.com/
Laura will present several Norwegian song sections at the luncheon. She will be assisted by Glenda Williams on the piano.
