Celebrate Scandinavian music and heritage at free concert May 18 at the North Dakota Heritage Center & State Museum

The North Dakota Heritage Center & State Museum, Bismarck, will host a Scandinavian music concert by Project: Constellation on Sunday, May 18, 2-3 p.m. in the Russell Reid Auditorium. The event is free and open to the public.

The husband-and-wife duo features guitarist Santiago Silva, who grew up in Stockholm, Sweden, and violinist Christina Silva. The Grand Forks couple, joined by friend and musician Jake Ingamar on slide guitar, will perform traditional Swedish and Norwegian songs in the native languages. Their setlist includes children’s songs, Eurovision Song Contest covers, and selections from both classical and modern Scandinavian music.

The concert follows Syttende Mai, Norway’s Constitution Day, celebrated each year on May 17. The performance offers an opportunity for audiences to connect with Scandinavian culture and heritage through music.
