Luren Singers: Another Nordic Fest Staple

On March 17, 1868 four Northeast Iowa residents homesick for their native Norway began singing together. 

The resulting Luren Singers have reached out from the Decorah area across the world for nearly 150 years. The Luren Singers are the oldest Norwegian American male chorus in North America! 

Luren Singer concerts at the Courthouse Square and participation in the Nordic Fest parade, as pictured above, are now staples of the Nordic Fest experience. 

The repertoire of the Luren Singers includes a number of ethnic Norwegian and contemporary tunes. You may review their playlist here. Want to have a piece of their beautiful singing to remind you of your Nordic Fest experiences? Order their CD's here. Want to explore more details on The Luren Singers, visit their website

Just a few days ago, the Luren Singers participated in the 2014 Sangerfest in the Twin Cities. For more information on the Norwegian Singers Association of American, visit their website

The Luren Singers will be a part of the 2014 Nordic Fest opening ceremonies, parade and will give their own concert. For details on exact times and locations, consult your Nordic Fest program or visit www.nordicfest.com, where the program is scheduled to be available sometime in July.
