UNM Music Professor to Lecture at Carnegie Hall

Brad Ellingboe, University of New Mexico professor of music, has been invited by the Norwegian Consulate to lecture on the music of Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg, in commemoration of his centennial, on Thursday, Nov. 8, at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall. His lecture precedes a concert featuring the chamber ensemble Poetica Musica.

The Norwegian Consulate General’s Cultural Affairs Officer, Thor-Arne Englund, wrote, “It is a great honor for us to have such a renowned Grieg scholar lecturing at our event – especially since Grieg’s adaptation of Arne Garborg’s ‘Haugtussa’ is central in the concert’s program.”
