Join us Monday December 7th to discuss December's pick Popular Music From Vittula by Mikael Niemi When a Beatles record falls into the hands of 11-year-old Matti, neither he nor his home village of Pajala, Sweden, will ever be the same. It is the early 1960s, and both Matti and Pajala are about to enter adolescence. This is a beautiful, poignant, often very funny novel about growing up in a remote area. Niemi writes with real poetry as he strings together the culturally rich vignettes of Matti's experiences, snapshots of childhood that are at the same time intensely personal and universal: the burn of the first alcoholic drink, the thrill of a first kiss, the awe of first sex, the special closeness of a first best friend, the pain of the first real loss--all rendered pure and convincingly as a young boy's perceptions. Niemi also seasons the book well with the mysticism of childhood that suffuses the usually hidden psychological space where the transformation from child to youth occurs. An exquisitely beautiful novel
We will be teaching and practicing unicycling. Meets in CK West EXCEPT for the following dates in East Campus gym: SEPT 21, SEPT 28, OCT 5, OCT 12, and NOV 23.
A Time of Wonder and Song Please join Pacific Lutheran University's Choir of the West, the University Chorale and members of the University Symphony Orchestra in what has become one of the region's most inspirational Christmas celebrations. This year's concert has special significance as it will take place in three new venues: Seattle's Benaroya Hall, Portland's Newmark Theater, and three performances in PLU's Lagerquist Concert Hall. Our theme this year is "From Heaven Above," inspired by composer Felix Mendelssohn's cantata "Vom Himmel Hoch," which will be performed by our combined forces at the climax of the program. This work is in six movements, with a vigorous opening chorus built on the familiar carol, "From Heaven Above to Earth I Come." This year is the 200th anniversary of Mendelssohn's birth, and we join the musical world in celebration of this composer's life and work. The combined choirs and orchestra will open the concert with Lara Hoggard's powerful arrangement of the medieval carol, "Personent Hodie," and will also perform a colorful "Gloria" by Dallas composer Randol Allan Bass. In addition, University Pastor Nancy Connor's accompanying oratory and the Choir of the West and the University Chorale will each perform sets of beautiful and interesting Christmas works. The audience will participate as well, joining with our students to sing several beloved carols during this jubilant event.
