On July 4, 1825, the sailing ship Restauration left Stavanger, Norway, carrying 52 Norwegians looking for a better life in the United States. Arriving on October 9, 1825, these immigrants were soon followed by hundreds of thousands of other Norwegians in the following decades. To mark the 200th anniversary of this voyage, pianist/composer/researcher Steven Luksan
