New and exciting Opening Ceremony to start Norsk Høstfest on October 1, 2013 in Minot, North Dakota

A Night to Remember – 

It’s been a favorite tradition for many years – and this year, the Norsk Høstfest’s Opening Ceremony in Minot, North Dakota will be a night you’ll never forget!

Before the first full day of Høstfest festivities, North America’s largest Scandinavian festival will present a special tribute to the Nordic nations at 7 p.m., Tuesday, October 1, 2013, in the Great Hall of the Vikings. The elaborate event will feature a star-studded lineup of performers and musicians, including the collaboration of Frank Sinatra, Jr. and the full Minot Symphony Orchestra.

An exclusive event

Høstfest attendees have more than just big-name entertainment to look forward to at this year’s Opening Ceremony; a longstanding tradition of patriotism and Scandinavian pride will be on full display. The celebration will open dramatically, bringing Høstfest-goers to the edge of their seats. The excitement continues as Finnish fiddle band Frigg raises the bar for an electrifying evening.

During Norsk Høstfest’s exclusive Medley of Flags, audience members can expect a truly unique celebration of Scandinavian heritage that is bigger and more reverent than ever. The Minot Symphony Orchestra, soloists, and the Western Plains Children’s Choir will take center stage to execute the powerful medley in a performance unlike any ever seen before.

Event organizer Rolf Stang expects attendees to be enthralled by the Minot Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Dr. Scott Seaton.

“Seaton brings impressive nuance and directorial skills that really make music communicate,” Stang said. “The Symphony’s tribute to the Nordic nations will be one for the books.”

The Opening Ceremony will reach a climactic end, setting the stage for an unforgettable week.

Frank Sinatra, Jr. will entertain

After the Opening Ceremony concludes, Frank Sinatra, Jr., son of legendary musician and actor Frank Sinatra, will take center stage with his 14-piece touring band and the full Minot Symphony Orchestra.

Frank Sinatra, Jr. has long been delivering the timeless music that his father made famous. His career has spanned seven full length albums and numerous appearances on television programs and specials. Typically touring with his own orchestra, “Sinatra Sings Sinatra” has delighted audiences across the country for years.

But according to Norsk Høstfest president David Reiten, Sinatra’s upcoming performance in Minot will be a completely new experience.

“This is a unique opportunity for Minot,” Reiten said. “To have a legend like Frank Sinatra, Jr. performing with our own Minot Symphony Orchestra is a once-in-a-lifetime event.”
