Event Description
The 2008 Nordic Spirit symposium highlights the results of recent research and new insights that demonstrate the powerful Viking impact on the British Isles and continental Europe, and its far-reaching influence on North American society to the 19th century. The program will also provide a perspective on Viking Age myth and religion by examining the dramatic meeting of northern paganism and European Christianity.
You are invited to experience this program with distinguished speakers and polished performers, and to share the time-honored spirit of a symposium, blending music, dining and the free exchange of ideas to enhance the pleasure of learning.
This evening's program includes “England and Europe: Some New Insights into the Viking Impact” presented by Richard Hall, Ph.D., Director of Archaeology, York Archaeological Trust for Excavation and Research, and
“A Nordic Tapestry: An Evening of Scandinavian Song” with Elly Erickson, Swedish-American Soprano.
Admission is $20, free for students. Please contact Allan Carlson for information and early registration fees.
The Nordic Spirit Symposium is made possible by generous grants from the Barbro Osher Pro Suecia Foundation and the Royal Norwegian Consulate General in San Francisco.
