Last Tuesday, the St. Olaf Cantorei became the first choral group ever to record in an anechoic chamber. They sang for a small group of onlooking scientists from 3M and the Wenger Company, who recorded the choir for the purpose of furthering acoustical studies.
Capping a 10-day domestic tour, the St. Olaf Orchestra delivered a thrilling concert to a full house at Skoglund Auditorium on Monday night. The two-hour concert, conducted by Music Professor Steven Amundson, featured performances by a pair of Orchestra soloists as well as works by 20th-century American composers Samuel Barber and George Gershwin.
