This Thursday’s Hygge Happy Hour is the kick-off for our new series - Nordic Music and Pop-Up Dance hosted by Kari Tauring. Each third Thursday, nature instrument specialist and singer Kari Tauring hosts a variety of Nordic musicians who inspire dancing within the community. She kicks off this evening with a song for schottische!

The musician for our first event is Art Bjorngjeld. His music was passed down through Art's family and he shares it broadly throughout the Midwest and Scandinavia. You may have seen him on Prairie PBS when they visited the Norwegian dance group Det Norske Folkedanslaget in 2019. Art leads the dance band Button Boxers, favorites at Nordic Dance evenings at Tapestry Folkdance Center and the Nordic Ball.

Come sing, dance, or just pull up a chair and listen.

If you are interested in playing at a Nordic Music happy hour or have any questions, please email Kari at karitauring@gmail.com.
