NEWS FROM 100 YEARS AGO
Friday, 3-13-1914, The Otoe Union:
"Miss Charlotte Stilwell entertained all the young people who
assisted in the play given at District #102 (Orchard Hill) with a
light meal. The rest of the evening was spent in playing flinch,
roodles, and Bunco and at last winding up the evening by
everyone telling a ghost story. Several quite thrilling tales
were told and some of the guests became too frightened to
go home alone."

Nyckelharpa Concerto Premieres in Nebraska
On Sunday, April 13, at 3 PM, the Hastings Symphony will be performing a world premiere: the world's first concerto for nyckelharpa and orchestra. The piece is composed by Dr. Christopher Stanichar, and will be performed by multi-instrumentalist, Deborah Greenblatt. The piece is in three movements, each one reflecting a story by Hans Christian Anderson: "The Brave Tin Soldier", "The Ugly Duckling", and "The Emperor's New Clothes".
The nyckelharpa is the official fiddle of Sweden. The instrument has 16 strings in all. There are 3 melody strings, manipulated by keys, one droning string, and 12 strings that vibrate sympathetically.
For more information about the nyckelharpa, contact the American Nyckelharpa Association (www.nyckelhapra.org/).
