Pacific Coast Norwegian Singers Asc. c/o Howard Hansen It is with great pleasure I send my warm greetings to you at your 85th Sanger fest in San Ramon, California, on June 16-18. I will be visiting you on that occasion and I am looking forward to this event.

I also want to send "gode 0nsker pa reisen" to those who will be going to Norway for the Norway 1994 Concert Tour.

The 4 million Norwegian-Americans living in this country represent a strong and resourceful group of people that ties Norway to the united States and provide access to the many bonds across the Atlantic.

Your concert tour is yet another example of the fine tradition that Norwegian American choruses have been practicing in making these bonds.

Enjoy my country and the country of your heritage. You will have a great time.

1994 SAlYGEHFEST

GREETINGS! Welcome Norwegian singers and friends from Pacific Coast cities both north and south of San Francisco Bay. In this our 71st anniver足 sary year, Normanna Glee Club of Oakland claims its membership from all counties in the Greater Bay Area and are particularly fortunate to include singers from the Norwegian Singing Society of San Francisco.

We singers and our Ladies Auxiliary wish for you a most enjoyable visit and a memorable musical experience.

This 85th Annual Sangerfest of the Pacific Coast Norwegian Singers Association is a tribute to those faithful singers who have preceded us and who have provided the rich heritage of song we enjoy and preserve today.

May our combined voices in the Grand Concert of Sangerfest 1994 swell the "Sangerspirit" in each of us that we may dedicate our love for song and harmony to a bright and growing PCNS~ fostering choruses while enticing singers into our association.

Again, may this experience be the highlight of your year and the 1994 NORWAY CONCERT TOUR be the frosting on the cake!

MED SANGERHILSEN

SONG AND MUSIC are a birthright which has been entrusted to all nations in a greater or lesser degree.

That such a birthright has been richly entrusted to the Norwegian Nation is a well known fact. As music lovers, composers and perfonllers the NOIwegians have always been in the foremost ranks. Singing, and tilen in particular male chorus singing, has a very broad place in the daily musical life of the country. Virtually every little conullunity has its singing societies which contribute much towards keeping the high standard of patriotism and love. Everybody takes part and the great Sangerfests with massed choruses numbering 5000 to 6000 men are realities.

Inunortal composers like Grieg, Sinding, Svendsen, Ole Olsen, Kjerulf and numerous otilers have given us male chorus compositions of lasting beauty, compositions that rightfully belong among the finest the world has produced in this fonn of music.

The Norwegian sons and daughters who have emigrated to America have brought wi til tilem tilis great love for song and music, and have contributed honorably to make this country an outstanding musical nation.

For over sixty years Norwegian singing societies have existed on the Pacific Coast, and in 1902, chiefly through tile eflorts of Mr. F. A. Tomte, Portland, Oregon, the Pacific Coast Norwegian Singers' Association was organized in Seattle, Washington. The first officers were Jolm Nonnan (Everett), President; A. J. Thuland (Seattle), Secretary; Dr. O. A. Loe (Seattle), Treasurer, and Dr. Carlo A. Sperati, Director-in-Chief. The original founders of the Pacific Coast Norwegian Singers Association are as follows: Norwegian Glee Club, Portland, Organized November 6, 1886 NonnaIUla Male Chorus, Tacoma, Organized October IS, 1888 Norwegian Male Chorus, Seattle, Organized December 6, 1889 Norden Sangforening, Ballard, Wa., Organized in 1901 Everett Norwegian Male Chorus organized August 5, 1902 Norwegian Male Chorus, Vancouver, British Columbia, Organi7..ed September 14, 1927.

The first Sangerfest was held in Everett, Washington, August 1-3, 1903. Since tilen Sangerfests have been held and celebrated in the principal cities of the Pacific Coast.

The present Sangerfest in Oakland is the 85th in the history of the Pacilic Coast Norwegian Singers' Association and the first in Oakland since 1978.
