LEXINGTON COMMUNITY EDUCATION presents Stambandet, The Scandinavian Vocal Ensemble
A Nordic Spring Sojourn on Saturday, May 9, 2015, 7:00-8:30pm At the Follen Church Society, 755 Massachusetts Ave., Lexington Cost: $10.00

If you live in the land of the midnight sun, you can be forgiven an obsession with summer. Precious months of nearly constant day call forth a delight that borders on cult-like devotion. The music of Scandinavia abounds with themes of light, love, celebration, and all things green and growing, often imbued with a mystical quality. The Vocal Ensemble relates the infectious joy of a Nordic spring! Join us as we journey through space and time, weaving Scandinavian life and lore into a tapestry of sounds. You will experience voices echoing in the mountains and fjords of Norway, ride through the enchanted desert of Iceland, wander through the magical summer forests of Sweden and dance in the villages of Finland and Denmark. We will take you on a musical odyssey you will never forget!
Founded in 1978, Stämbandet has a reputation for excellence both as an a cappella ensemble and a World Music vocal group. Presenting songs rarely heard outside of Iceland, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Sweden, this captivating vocal band often breaks into six- and seven- part harmonies sung in six languages.
