New York Scandia Symphony endures

Published · Updated

Best to follow the beat of your own (Scandinavian) drum Victoria Hofmo Brooklyn, N.Y. Although I’ve lived in New York City my entire life and am a proud descendent of Scandinavians, it wasn’t until a few months ago that I learned about the existence of the New York Scandia Symphony. It wasn’t because they are a new organization that slid under my radar. They have been performing here for over 30 years. I was a little ashamed, and this article is to atone for my ignorance. Perhaps you, like me, haven’t been privy to this New York gem either. I first noticed the Scandia Symphony through an ad for their performance at Fort Tyron Park in Inwood.
