St. Olaf College and Carleton College to present Swede Hollow
Swede Hollow by Ann Millikan
On December 11, 1956, the City of St. Paul evicted the residents of Swede Hollow and burned their homes to the ground. Their stories, and those of earlier Swede Hollow residents, became the subject of Ann Millikan’s opera. Click to hear excerpts and learn more about Swede Hollow's history in St. Paul.
Women's History Month at St. Olaf
To commemorate Women’s History Month 2019, St. Olaf College will present two events recognizing the triumphs and struggles of women composers: Nadia, a dynamic new play, will acquaint viewers with the life of Nadia Boulanger, and a complementary vocal master class will educate participants and audience about women composers throughout history.
About the Broadening the Bridge grant
Broadening the Bridge is a collaborative effort between St. Olaf and Carleton Colleges. A strong bridge is already sustained through the link between the two libraries, but we aim to extend our reach to one another. The "Broadening the Bridge" project is supported with a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
Weitz Blackbox Theater • Carleton College
Performances are Thursday, February 28 and Friday, March 1, 2019, at 8 p.m. Click here for information on the Weitz Center for Creativity.
