The Northwest Edvard Grieg Society presents an evening of music in the Volunteer Park Conservatory.
Surrounded by the tropical climate and flora evoking his chosen home of Honolulu, the Northwest Edvard Grieg Society will celebrate Alf Hurum's centennial of his arrival to the US. The conservatory concerts will feature the Ellinor Quartet performing Hurum's String Quartet and the Northwest Grieg Mannskor, directed by Scott Fikse, singing Hurum's Lilja, a capella and in the original Norwegian, following the life of Christ, from birth to death.
