Scandinavian Cultural Center & Library, 206 Waltham St, Newton, MA, 02465

We are proud to host <a href="https://www.analogbychoice.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Analog By Choice</a> for a presentation of their concert Break Away.
All of us have traditions, customs, and values that we’ve grown up with. How do we decide as we grow and change which ones we hold on to and which ones we change? Just like our personal growth, composers must often balance a respect for music traditions of the past while adding their own voice and creating something new. In this concert, we have three composers who have taken different approaches to this balance and managed to come up with really incredible results.

Come ready to create with your hands, reflect on your own traditions, and create the biggest effect with the fewest tools!
Musicians: Peter Paetkau and Thomson Wang – Violins, Maureen Sheehan – Viola, Nicholas Johnson – Cello<a href="https://scandicenter.org/event/break-away-a-concert-by-analog-by-choice/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Visit our website for more information.</a>

We are thrilled to host a screening of Kings of Kubb, featuring a personalized recorded introduction from directors Steve Dayton and B.J. Hollars. If you’re already a kubb pro, we know you’ll want to see this exciting documentary and join us for some games of kubb (also called “viking chess” on the lawn afterwards. If you’re confused and wondering what kubb is, come find out! The Swedish lawn game has taken hold over the small city of Eau Claire, Wisconsin–with a population of just 70,000, it hosts the largest weekly kubb league in the world, with 144 teams competing. Filmmakers Dayton and Hollars illuminate the formation of the U.S. National Kubb Championship and what the sport means to its players, four in particular who are vying for the championship.

“It’s not quite bowling. It’s not quite bags. And it’s far more than “throwing sticks at blocks.” When the Nordic lawn game arrived in the United States, American players quickly discovered that—even with skill, strategy, and mental toughness—kubb can break your heart… or heal it."
