St. Olaf Band Service

The St. Olaf Band, conducted by Henry Dorn, performs in Boe Memorial Chapel over the St. Olaf Christmas Festival weekend. Founded in 1891, the St. Olaf Band is the oldest music organization at St. Olaf College, a campus internationally renowned for its high caliber of music ensembles. The band has toured nationally since 1904 and internationally since 1906, when it performed a four-week, 30-concert tour of Norway, making it the first American collegiate band to tour Europe. The band has subsequently toured several times in Norway, Great Britain, Japan, central Europe, and in 2018, Australia and New Zealand. All are welcome to attend the service.
