Musical Migration is an exploration of music composed by Norwegians who immigrated to the United States over the last two centuries. This nearly forgotten repertoire will be heard again -- from nostalgic folk songs to classical art songs, and popular tunes to solo piano repertoire -- performed and guided by soprano Laura Loge and pianist Steven Luksan. This music reflects the composers who left everything behind for an opportunity in a new land, and who brought their music with them, shaped by their struggles, new adventures, and longing for their homeland and distant families. 

Meet the Musicians:

Laura Loge is Founder and President of the Northwest Edvard Grieg Society, Artistic Director of Nordic Chamber Music, former Artistic Director of Mostly Nordic Chamber Music Series at the National Nordic Museum, and Concert Series Coordinator at Saint Mark's Episcopal Cathedral in Seattle. She earned her Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance from Saint Olaf College, Master of Music in Vocal Performance from the New England Conservatory and studied Nordic Art Song and chamber music at the University of Stavanger Conservatory of Music.

Steven Luksan is a composer, pianist, and educator making music in

Seattle, WA. He is the founder and artistic director of the Saltwater Music Series (Des Moines, WA), a concert series dedicated to performances of local and off-the-beaten-path chamber music. As a performer and researcher, his interests focus on late-19th and 20th century Nordic and American music, especially music composed by Norwegian American immigrant composers.
