The cost of membership is just $50 for individuals or $75 for households. Membership fees are applied to costs associated with presenting concerts, competitions, symposia and other events consistent with our mission. Your membership fee will help to make it possible for us to offer “pay as you can” admission to everyone for all performances.
As a member, you will have a voice in the governance of the Edvard Grieg Society. You will be invited to attend the annual meeting of the Society, where we will hear reports on the activities of the Society during the current year, approve plans for the forthcoming year, and nominate board members. Members are also encouraged to perform volunteer services to the Society consistent with their abilities and time constraints, to invite friends to attend events sponsored by the Society, and to make voluntary contributions to the Society consistent with their interest, ability, and other charitable commitments.
Not ready for membership? Your donations will help fund our activities as well. Thank you for your support!

We’re thrilled to present Laura Loge and Steven Luksan's upcoming "Musical Migration" celebration of the bicentennial of Norwegian immigration to America. #crossings200
Laura and Steve have scoured archives and discovered forgotten gems of songs and piano pieces by immigrants composing in Norwegian in America, and Norwegians composing about immigrants in English. They are on a tour including more than 40 programs celebrating this music and this anniversary this year. They just got back from a 2 1/2 week tour of Norway and will be heading back there in November for more concerts and seminars. Some of the songs they've found haven't been sung in decades, or even over a century, but they all tell fascinating tales of travel to a new land and all the hardships and adventures that entailed. The ways traditions were maintained, changed, or abandoned holds up fascinating mirrors to better appreciate the heritage and legacy of all immigrant ancestors and current immigrants, from whatever origin.
And these guys are wonderful performers!
