Crossings Concert with Laura Loge and Steven Luskan

September 11, 2025 | 7:00 PM

Location: Luther College with Live-stream

Join Vesterheim 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!

Registration for the free online event is required. Sign up here.

Commemorate the 200th Anniversary of the first organized emigration of Norwegians to the United States with Vesterheim in 2025! The single-masted sloop, Restauration, left Stavanger on July 4, 1825, with 52 people on board and landed in New York Harbor on October 9, 1825.
Vesterheim joins Crossings, a group of Norwegian-American organizations, to commemorate this anniversary with programming inspired by the strong connections between the people of Norway and the United States. Whether you have Norwegian roots or an interest in Scandinavian traditions, we invite you to join Vesterheim’s special programs, exhibitions, and classes to share the history and traditions of Norwegian Americans.
