SUMMARY:ONLINE: Are You What You Wear?
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Thomas DuBois\, University of Wisconsin-Madison presents this program about the clear norms of Sámi dress in different regions of Sápmi – the areas of Norway\, Finland\, and Sweden where Sámi people traditionally reside. But the actual components of the dress vary and they are often made at home by family members rather than purchased from a professional seamstress. This presentation will explore the ways the Sámi use dress to express their identity and the many variations and expressive choices that come into play. \nNOTE: this begins at 7:30 p.m. Pacific Time \nRegister in advance at s://clu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJMlc-qqqDksE9W5nNhwOsYWLEv1KDu0IX_F

SUMMARY:WA: Finnish Fanfare Concert
DESCRIPTION:Finland’s long-standing brass band tradition started with military bands\, accompanying kings and czars or leading soldiers as they marched. It quickly evolved\, however\, into entertainment for the common people at folk dances and hunting parties\, and later into the world of jazz. It even followed Finnish immigrants to America. The highly acclaimed Cascadia Brass returns to take us on a tour of the evolution of the Finnish brass ensemble\, in a grand fanfare to welcome back our Mostly Nordic series!
