The sun shone through the newly budding trees on the lawn behind Buntrock Commmons as St. Olaf students gathered to enjoy the first annual outdoor music festival Lutefest, Saturday, May 8. The events began at noon, with Bon Appétit serving grilled hamburgers and veggie burgers on the plaza. The smell of lunch combined with the sounds of St. Olaf band Salt 513 enticed sun-starved students to get outside and take part in the day's activities. The successful festival lasted until 9 p.m., when the final band, Native American rock-blues group Indigenous, completed their set.
A warm spring afternoon in Skoglund Auditorium was the setting for the St. Olaf Orchestras May 9 Senior Soloists Concert, which showcased the talent of eight musicians seven students and a Professor whose time at the Hill is nearing an end.
