Join us on Thursday, April 5th at 7pm in the library atrium where local poet and musician Andrea Een will present a program of original poetry and Norwegian folk music performed on the Hardanger fiddle. Andrea Een, Norwegian-American Hardanger fiddler, received the St. Olav Medal in 2002, given by King Harald V of Norway for her promotion of greater knowledge of Norwegian culture abroad. Een has studied the Hardanger fiddle, a nine-string folk violin unique to Norway, with some of the leading fiddlers in that country. In 2004 she released her solo CD, From the Valley which combines her original fiddle solos with traditional dances and tone poems from West Norway. She taught violin, viola, and Hardanger fiddle at St. Olaf College from 1977 to 2012. Her poetry has appeared in literary journals, anthologies, and the chapbook Some Days We Name It Love (Heywood Press 1994).
