Leif Erikson Day 2018– Celebrate with Song
Saturday, 13 October, 4:00 pm, at the Scandinavian Community Centre
We are delighted to present a special concert by the Frederiksberg Sogns Pigekor as part of the Leif Erikson DayFestival. This Danish girls’ choir is based in Copenhagen and includes young women 11 to 22 years old. They will visit Vancouver as part of their 2018 tour of western Canada. The group has traveled the world — Japan, Greenland and the United States, as well as various European countries. The program will be a mix of Scandinavian music and Nordic folksongs, sung in both English and Danish.
Admission is by donation.
After the choir’s performance, plan to stay for more! Music will continue as the Centre’s own Nordic Bleu Singers join forces with the Vancouver Spelmanslag in a program of Nordic folksongs, including some Icelandic favourites.
