SUMMARY:JENNIFER GERSTEN | CONCERT
DESCRIPTION:Violinist Jennifer Gersten\, a two-time ASF fellow in Music\, delivers an imaginative program of six solo violin works by experimental Scandinavia-based composers\, three of which will be presented for the first time in the United States. These works push the violin to its dynamic and timbral extremes\, traversing strange territories of far-flung birds\, fragmented mutterings\, and butterfly wingflaps. The program will conclude with a world premiere of a new work by Gersten and the Norwegian composer and double bassist Inga Margrete Aas. \nPurchase tickets

SUMMARY:THE HOME OF THE DROWNED | WITH ELIN ANNA LABBA
DESCRIPTION:Join us on September 15 for a discussion and presentation on The Home of the Drowned! Author Elin Anna Labba will be joined by a moderator to delve into her debut novel\, a haunting\, multigenerational saga of a family of Sámi women fighting the devastation of their way of life. \nNothing is true\, and everything is true; poetry will never hurt more than what has happened. Every summer\, Iŋgá\, her mother Rávdná\, and her Aunt Ánne travel west to their village on the lake. But the summer Iŋgá is thirteen\, they arrive to find their home and possessions have disappeared under water\, the land flooded by a dam built to supply hydropower to a society that has continually stolen from them. \nThe Home of the Drowned follows these women’s fortunes over forty years—from 1942 to 1982—as the water their people have lived near for centuries is transformed into a menacing force that threatens all they hold dear. Defying the authorities\, Rávdná decides to build a proper house on the lake to replace what was lost\, becoming an unlikely activist even as her actions isolate her family from the rest of the community. Meanwhile\, Ánne’s health is in decline\, and a concerned Iŋgá merely longs to live like everyone else—an impossible wish when the Swedish state is relentlessly drowning her world. \nOut now from University of Minnesota Press\, The Home of the Drowned “paints a stunning portrait of the tenacity of an Indigenous people jarred\, displaced\, and neglected by so-called progress” (Jon Hickey\, author of Big Chief). Drawing on her own family’s history of forced relocation and violent colonial dispossession\, Elin Anna Labba’s debut novel brings Sámi history to the fore through this intimate story. In poetic prose deftly translated by Elizabeth Clark Wessel\, she reveals connections between land\, water\, and people that hauntingly reverberate with the question: what is it that makes a home? \nRegister

SUMMARY:RUBEN HØGH | CONCERT
DESCRIPTION:Join us on October 8 for an evening with Danish pianist and former ASF Fellow Ruben Høgh! With a strong focus on sonic experimentation and commitment to artistic innovation\, Høgh moves freely between European classical traditions and the raw energy of New York’s Downtown scene. \n\n\nParticularly drawn to the resonating textures and sonic landscapes of post-rock and inspired by composers like Julia Wolfe\, John Adams\, Steve Reich\, Olivier Messiaen and Dmitri Shostakovich\, he explores new forms of pianism that both challenge and build on conventions and create immersive concert experiences where the distance between stage and audience dissolves. This includes the use of extended techniques\, prepared piano\, as well as electronic textures and software. \n\n\n\n\nPurchase tickets

SUMMARY:HAMPUS ÖHMAN-FRÖLUND: MOTVALSEN
DESCRIPTION:Join us on October 15 for an unforgettable evening with Hampus Öhman-Frölund as he plays selections from his new solo record\, “Motvalsen”! \n“Motvalsen” (2026) is the first drums / percussion solo record from NYC-based Swedish drummer Hampus Öhman-Frölund. Blending acoustic percussion with electronics\, samples\, and instruments from Sweden\, the album explores his experience of leaving home\, building a life in New York in his mid-twenties\, and finding new ways to engage with his cultural roots in the diaspora. Inspired by the textures and spirit of Scandinavian folk music—without claiming a place within that tradition—Motvalsen presents a deeply personal electro-acoustic meditation on memory\, distance\, and transnational belonging.\n\nPurchase tickets

SUMMARY:SIRI HUSTVEDT - DANCE AROUND THE SELF
DESCRIPTION:On November 21\, see the trenchant\, tender documentary Siri Hustvedt – Dance Around the Self! Siri Hustvedt will be present for a Q&A following the screening. \nYoung\, curious and full of drive\, Siri Hustvedt leaves the wide\, quiet landscapes of Minnesota and plunges into the pulsating life of New York City. In search of the protagonist for her first novel\, she embarks on a journey that not only shapes her as a writer but leads her to become one of the most compelling voices in contemporary American literature. The film opens a perspective that reaches far beyond Siri Hustvedt herself\, discovering women who courageously and independently realise their artistic visions. As Siri Hustvedt and her husband Paul Auster reflect on language\, identity and the power of words\, life intervenes: Paul Auster becomes seriously ill. In Siri Hustvedt – Dance Around the Self\, director Sabine Lidl portrays Siri Hustvedt’s distinctive way of living and thinking\, weaving her writing together with the major themes of life: love and farewell. \nPhotos: © Medea Film Factory / Dschoint Ventschr / Filip Zumbrunn \nPurchase Tickets
