Special Release
Sangerfest
Sangerfest 2018, which will be held by Luren Singers at Luther College, May 31 to June 2, 2018. How can Sangerfest best be described? These key words could be used:
Music—Two concerts will be given in the Center for Faith and Life: the “Parade of Choruses” on Thursday night and the “Grand Concert” on Saturday night. Eleven male Norwegian-American choruses from the Midwest and the Northern Lights from Decorah will participate. Two of the five grand concert segments will also spotlight a soprano and a baritone soloist. Three pieces will be accompanied by an orchestra. Both concerts are open to the public.
