Jonathan Rundman book release concert: “Lost Songs of the Suomi Synod”
September 21, 2021 @ 7 PM - 8 PM
Minneapolis-based folk/rock songwriter Jonathan Rundman will release his first book on September 7, 2021. Rundman offers a free book release concert of Lost Songs of the Suomi Synod at Luther Seminary, St. Paul, MN, on Sept. 21, 2021.
The concert is outdoors, COVID-safe, and socially distanced. Bring a lawn chair or blanket.
Lost Songs of the Suomi Synod is a musical and theological memoir of Rundman’s Lutheran ancestors who emigrated from Finland in the early 1900s. The book collects Rundman’s arrangements and translations of 28 songs from this Nordic immigrant community who settled in Upper Michigan, Minnesota, and across the country.
Much of this music has not been sung or heard in North America for a century, and some pieces have never before appeared in the English language.
