Norwegian youth orchestra to tour western Washington

Joanne Donnellan, former orchestra director at Ferndale High School for nearly 30 years, and the concertmaster for Whatcom Symphony Orchestra for decades, is helping to promote two local concerts by the Ung Symfoni from Bergen, Norway, who are now touring Western Washington through April 8.
Joanne's cousin in Bergen is the orchestra manager, and Joanne says the musicians will be doing home stays in Ferndale for three nights and visiting local schools while they're here. A highlight of their tour will include a cultural exchange with the Lummi Nation School students, and a lunch hosted by the school and the Lummi elders.
